Steven Jobs，who passed away on October 5 ,2011，was an American computer enterpriser and inventor. He was co-founder，chairman，and CEO of Apple Corporation. Jobs also previously served as CEO of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company in 2006，following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.

In the late 1970s，Jobs-along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak，Mike Markkula and others-designed，developed，and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers，the Apple II series. In the early 1980s，Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface(界面),which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985，Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT，a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets. Apple's 1996 buyout(收购)of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded，and he served as its CEO from 1997 until August 2011. In 1986，he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd，which was turned out as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50. 1 percent until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006.Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7 percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors. On August 24 ,2011 ,Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. Jobs died in California at age 56，seven years after being diagnosed with cancer. At the time of his resignation，and again after his death，he was widely described as a pioneer and genius-perhaps one of the foremost-in the field of business，innovation，and product design， and a man who had“deeply" changed the face of the modern world，revolutionized at least six different industries，and an“exemplar for all CEOs”.His death was widely mourned and considered a loss to the world by reviewers across the globe.

The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs’ story about death

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right．” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life．

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months．My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die．

I lived with that diagnosis all day．I was completely in despair．Later that evening, I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now．

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death．To tell the truth, no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．It clears out the old to make room for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．

Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life．Don’t be trapped by dogma（教条）----which is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart．It somehow already knows what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．
