My alarm was set off at 0700 sharp and that was when I woke up and started my day. Not knowing what clothes were appropriate to wear, I took a quick glance at the weather forecast. Over breakfast, I caught up with my emails while pulling up files ready for the next appointment feeling extremely efficient.
Half way through the morning, I checked in to follow some news threads, replied a few Whatsapp and Pingchat messages, performed an online check-in for my flight tomorrow and off I went to Napa Valley for a wine tour that I have been looking forward to.
It was a really pleasant day with sunshine after rain and it was the most scenic of all, en route to the valley. I couldn't help but snapped a few photos in the car and I couldn't wait to brag about it by sharing one or two with my friends on Facebook.
The wine tour was splendid. I took lots of useful wine notes during the various tastings and needless to say, plenty of beautiful shots to help me remember where I went and what I drank.
Steve Jobs has technically enabled and sentimentally fulfilled my day. To the extent in which much of what I use to manage my tasks listed above and much of the emotions involved - exist on the platforms his company has created.
There have been many compliments to the man, his ideas and his achievements over the past day or so on the Internet. I want to pay tribute to him by saying how his life’s work has played a crucial part in helping me - craft my life’s work.
The best way to honour his memory is for me to press on doing just that: my life’s work.
And thanks to his vision - I can do that a lot more efficiently and effectively than I could have without it.
