Short Life Lived

If asked, then the answer is yes. Faced with the problem each day, I simply have just found a knack for saying yes. No has never been my area of strength, but if you are reading this you will most likely already know that. I budge, I give in, I am no leader. Saying yes comes second nature to me. If anything was based solely on my control, I would have given away all of my possessions to those around me. No is not in my vocabulary.
Why am I even saying this? Well yesterday, 10/07/11 a true visionary has died, and left the world. Steve Jobs, never saying no to his true ideas.‎"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life," couldn't have said it any better. I have thought of this extraordinary man as a true idol. "Don't waste it living someone else's life," those words will be engraved into myself as I realize that in order to succeed in my own life, I have live my own life. No was a word that I must be familiar with now. To say no to those that change what I believe in. To say no to those that stand in my way, because my time is limited. I now know the true meaning to that one sentence that Steve Jobs has left for the world to know, the one piece of wisdom that he has left for the world to embrace. The one piece of wisdom that I am now able to live by. He has created the biggest franchise in the world in my opinion all by a single idea created in a garage as he was messing around with his friend. He succeeded in life for he never gave up his ideas and his beliefs. It is a true wonder, I'm telling all of you, it's rare. Hard to possess really, the qualities that he had. I am truly blessed to say I have lived in his era, his time of legendary trademarks.
For all of you reading this, this was not a blog to cry about how pathetic I am when it comes to the act of saying no. I am not complaining about how weak I am and crumble to the orders of others. I know I am those things. This is a blog to commend one of the greatest visionary, mastermind, and idol of our time -- Steve Jobs. Forever he will live in my life, for his words have made an impact on the way I will live it.
