In October 5, 2011, Steve Jobs died at the age of 56.

========================================

After Steve Jobs died, The New York Times reported that he had some details before his death. His cancer recurs were discovered at the end of 2010, so Steve Jobs announced his retirement in January 2011.

In February 2011, the doctor told Steve Jobs that there was no cure, and he was not enough time. However, Steve Jobs still chose to attend the iPad 2 and iCloud press conferences. At that time, he knew that he would soon be born.

Since that time, Steve Jobs began to make arrangements for his future work. He chose to meet some old friends and say goodbye to them.

Dr Mo of The Wall Street Journal recorded his meeting with Steve Jobs:

"I stayed at his house for three hours and walked around the nearby park. Although his poor health worried me a lot, he insisted on going there. "

"He said that he walks and exercises every day and sets himself a further goal every day. Today, community parks are his goal. As we walked and talked, he suddenly stopped and looked very painful. I begged him to go home because I didn't know the First Aid technique at all. In case of an accident, the next day's Newspaper title was "Helpless reporters watching Steve Jobs die on the side of the road". "

"Steve Jobs smiled and refused to go back. After a moment, he continued to walk towards the park. We sat on a bench and talked about life, family, and disease (I had a heart attack a few years ago ). He taught me the importance of health. Then we went back. "

In August 2011, when Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of apple, his health was no longer good and there was no miracle.

In the last few weeks of his life, Steve Jobs was very weak, lying at home, still walking. He finally invited several friends, Dr Ornish, venture capitalist John Doerr, Apple director Bill Campbell, and Disney CEO Robert A. Iger, to hold a farewell banquet at the Jin Sho restaurant in Palo Alto. At the banquet, he gave his mind to the iPhone 4S to be released.

Dr Ornish recalled: "I asked him if he was satisfied with the fact that he had raised four children. He said it is 10000 times better than anything I have done. "

Steve Jobs also met his biographer Isaacson. The latter asked him why I was authorized to write your biography because you paid so much attention to privacy. Steve Jobs replied: "I want my children to know me. As they grow, I have never been around them. I want them to know why and understand what I do. "

"At the end of his life, his sister Mona Simpson said," his tone is filled with gentle apologies and I am very sorry to take a step before leaving us. "

========================================

On June 18, Steve Jobs said at the Stanford University Graduation Ceremony:

"I believe that the only motivation to keep moving forward is that I love what I do. "(I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did .)

He practiced this sentence in his own life. The last eight years of his life were the eight years of the fight against cancer and the eight years of amazing results. During this period, he created a new historical product-MacBook, iPhone, and iPad-which moved apple from the verge of bankruptcy to the world's most valuable company.

However, if you think about it, you will find that it is completely unnecessary for him to do so, especially in the case of cancer. Before the new Apple master, he has become a success. Why is there only one explanation for the last moment of his work? That is, he really loves what he does.

Jobs' life is a miracle. He is an abandoned child and his adoptive parents are blue-collar. After six months in college, he once made a living by picking up beverage bottles. However, this person created the world's first personal computer, the world's most brilliant computer company, and completely changed the entire electronic industry. He told us in his life that as long as you dare to pursue your dreams and love what you do, nothing is impossible (everything is possible ).

As long as someone remembers it, he will never die. Steve Jobs has not left us, and people in the future will always remember him. Since Steve Jobs has been in this world, we all have more hopes.
