Steve Jobs passed away yesterday, October 6, 2011. He joins a small group of immortals – one of the greatest American entrepreneurs of all time. Here’s my list, and it is American because there’s never been another country and system that supported innovation and creativity like American capitalism. The list of immortals:
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Edison
Henry Ford
Walt Disney
Steve Jobs
This is a focus on world-changing innovation. The creative genius that can conceive is wonderful and produces great works of art. Steve was able to not only create but accomplish revolutions in technology, design, media, music and commerce. He will be missed.
It is honorable and a pleasure to see Steve Jobs added to this list of Great American entrepreneurs. I am personally inspired by his accomplishments. In my personal view Steve Jobs is another distiguished view of proof that a person can take what many may believe is the craziest idea: “without striving to secure anyone elses cricism”, and bring the vision to pass. R.I.P. Steve Jobs
This PBS production of “The Entrepreneurs” prompted a short phone call from Ross Perot to SJ which lead him to invest $20m into NeXT in 1987:
