A signpost for our time
Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO of Apple, he announced this yesterday to the world, and the world responded. One of the greatest innovators of our time, a leader unparalleled, a man who did his own thing and we, the people, were the beneficiaries of his vision. Don’t yet underestimate what his technological creations did to open up the world to a global dialogue that is yet to be digested and understood.
I hung up today after an hour on the phone with a long-time source of mine who listed out all the major changes that were happening around his world and I thought that change in and of itself isn’t bad, it’s just challenging.
As Ovid said in his Metamorphoses, “There is nothing constant in the universe. All ebb and flow, and every shape that’s born, bears in its womb the seeds of change.”
