This is how Apple CEO Tim Cook remembered Steve Jobs on his 10th death anniversary – Times of India

Today marks the 10th death anniversary of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Like every year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has paid a tribute to Jobs in remembrance. Cook tweeted a quote by Jobs on how passionate people can change the world. “People with passion can change the world for the better.”— SJ. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Celebrating you today and always,” wrote Cook in his tweet.
Apple has created a tribute page for Jobs on its website with a video with certain highlights from the co-founder’s career. There’s also a tribute note by the Jobs family on the site. In the note, the family wrote about what Jobs taught them. “For all of Steve’s gifts, it was his power as a teacher that has endured. He taught us to be open to the beauty of the world, to be curious around new ideas, to see around the next corner, and most of all to stay humble in our own beginner’s mind.”
In a rather touching note, “Memory is inadequate for what is in our hearts: we miss him profoundly. We were blessed to have him as husband and father.”
Jobs was 56 years old when he passed away. At the age of 49, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
The co-founder of Apple is credited with turning Apple’s fortunes when he came back to the company in 1997. Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985 after he fell out with the board of directors. Apple was written off by many even when Jobs came back in 1997. In fact. Dell CEO Michael Dell was asked what he would do with a “struggling” company like Apple. Dell infamously said that he would “shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”
Starting with Mac computers, Jobs began the turnaround and with iPod in 2001, the cult of Apple started to manifest. By the time the iPhone was launched in 2007, Apple and Jobs had changed the world forever. The cult of Jobs kept on growing with the launch of the iPad in 2010. His death in 2011 was mourned by millions across the world because of the impact he had on Apple and the tech industry in general.
