Do Rich People Deserve Standing Ovations?
Spend your time wisely
In many cases, our journey through life begins with similar experiences.
It is the assumption that everyone knows success requires vision, perseverance, hard work, and determination.
Still, given a clean slate and equal opportunity, few people will take a chance.
Some people use those essentials to achieve success. However, others cannot be bothered to put in the work or time.
A while back, I came across an article about Steve Jobs.
While reading a portion of his life story, I was intrigued, despite not knowing the man. Furthermore, I was also overwhelmed with sadness.
Before that, Steve Jobs was just another visionary, a tech genius.
In addition to founding Apple, he positively impacted the computer industry.
After reading the article, I felt as if I had met Jobs before. Steve was no different from many of us. He also had his challenging moments.
As I read further, I realized that Steve Jobs was adopted.
Like most people at an early age, one can assume he experienced loneliness, loss, self-image issues, and abandonment.
Regardless of the challenges in his past, it is clear that he spent time building his magical future. He never gave up.
At that moment, I became more aware that an ambitious man who had revolutionized the world had passed.
Foster care or adoption has affected many of our lives.
At the time, Steve Jobs’ moneyless life was similar to many people’s lifestyles.
During his childhood, as an adoptee, I believe for a while, he also had uncertainty about his future.
Nonetheless, Steve Jobs led a fascinating life. His innovative mindset and discipline helped him reach even greater heights in his later years.
Jobs received universal rewards and well-deserved honors for his brilliant and successful accomplishments.
It was clear that Jobs had utilized his time wisely.
The technology industry has benefited greatly from Steve Jobs’ contributions.
His inventions have changed the lives of millions of people.
It is no secret that his work is loved worldwide.
In the end, however, his health was his biggest challenge.
Ultimately many of us are inspired by Jobs to pursue our ambitions.
A standing ovation belongs to Steve Jobs, a hero.
