Steve Jobs: Bleeding in Six Colors for Us

Nobody Flashes

After hearing about Steve Jobs death tonight, I was watching this video and couldn’t help but think of Thomas Edison. Thomas invented the motion picture camera so that school children could learn from watching movies. He thought the books were too boring. Learning was the goal. Help kids to learn.

Steve had the same goals…to improve learning, and whatever else happens in between is a bonus.

Like every other genius that ever walked the planet, the seeds that Steve Jobs sowed in his lifetime will flourish just like Edison’s. Other geniuses will build on the technology that he developed. Someday, some one will be holding a fifth generation of IPOD”s, and thinking the same thing as I am right now about Steve Jobs.

If you can’t listen to this all, listen to the first few minutes, where he talks about his employees. They told him they didn’t leave the company because, “I bleed in six colors.”

Steve said that was code for the loyalty to Apple.

So…someone running for President should take an example from the man and say, “I bleed in three colors …red, white, and blue.” We should remember that America is and always has been a great country.  Our ancestors have spilled their blood on every shore …for freedom. For America.

I loved that comment. Steve was proud of what he had achieved. He was loyal to Apple, which became the biggest company in the world before he die.

We should take a lesson from Steve…we need to go back to our history, back to being proud. Look at the inventions we have given the world!  Look what Steve Jobs gave the world. Thomas lit up the world, and Steve stood on his shoulders.

Nobody can believe he was only 56, but fortunately, we can all pull him up on our computers (Macs or not) and learn from him anytime.

Steve…may your soul rest in peace…and bleed no more. It’s somebody else turn now. Right?

Right.
