MyCorporation Remembers Steve Jobs

“‎Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” – Steve Jobs, the Journey is the Reward, biography by Jeffrey S. Young (1988)

A modern day technological wizard, Steve Jobs touched the lives of countless people. Apple’s success would not be what it is without Jobs vision and tireless work ethic. More than a computer genius, Jobs inspired people beyond technology. He advocated a hands on, reach for the stars attitude.

Jobs was an entrepreneur and an innovator, two things we here at MyCorporation strongly believe in. This week, in memoriam, we dedicated our blogs to remembering not only his work but his legacy.

Focusing on Jobs’ wisdom, our Business Insider piece focuses on famous quotes throughout Jobs’ life. Excerpts include interviews given in when Jobs’ was just starting out, all the way up to a few years before his untimely death. Check out Memoriam of Steve Jobs by a Small Business Owner HERE.

Looking toward another side of Jobs, our Forbes follows his progression as seen through his eight Time magazine covers. The progression of covers follows Jobs’ career at Apple, characterizing him as a risk taker, flat out cool and one of the most influential people in the world. Check out One Good Apple: Steve Jobs and His Eight Time Magazine Covers HERE.

As stated by Apple, “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.”
