RANDOM: Beautiful Minds

Years ago, I was jealous of the people who lived in Thomas Edison and other great inventors' time. I wondered how it felt like to see your street lighted by a light bulb for the first time. How magical it would have seemed the first time you heard your friend's voice over the telephone.

The newspapers' headlines are not of the latest blockbuster movie nor of a gruesome crime. They are about the new invention to be introduced for the first time. I said if I had a choice, I would go back to that generation and knowing that it would not be forever, I would absorb everything that is happening around me and tell stories to my kids and grandkids how great that generation is.

Today, our modern Edison passed away. I just came to realize that as much as the past generation is blessed with their own beautiful minds, they have never and will never experience ours. Our generation have more of these minds than the entire history of mankind combined, in my opinion. No, I did not research and nor did I actually count but I just know that it's true.

They will never know how Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs and many other can inspire people...even without meeting them in person. Today, people can touch each other's lives no matter where one is in the world. We also have Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and several other people from the internet who made our life a lot more convenient.

So, to all these people who inspire me to dream, thank you. I am forever grateful.

Steve Jobs
