Sad news came from the world of technology. Apple Inc. founder, Steven P. Jobs, died after a battle against pancreatic cancer. Jobs said the family left behind died peacefully accompanied by all family members.

Jobs had wife, Laurene, and four children. In a separate statement, the family said the current Jobs died peacefully surrounded by his family. “We know many of you will mourn and we ask that you respect our privacy during the period of mourning”.

President Obama: remembers one of “the greatest American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”

Sad news was conveyed by the Apple in a statement. Jobs passed away on Wednesday (5 / 10) at the age of 56 years. “Steve’s brilliance, passion, and energy is the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve the lives of us all,” said Apple. “The world is better because of Steve”.

Jobs looks experienced significant weight loss in mid-2008. He took nearly six-month medical leave in 2009, where he received a liver transplant. He returned to take medical leave in mid-January without explanation before resigning as chief executive in August 2011.

Although officially handed over the reins of the company Jobs to Tim Cook in August, raising questions of his death remains a high risk to Apple about how the company has been at the forefront of technology with creativity in recent decades can sustain success without the vision and guidance.

Those who know Jobs said that one reason why Jobs is able to continue to innovate because he did not think about past accomplishments or inheritance, but kept looking forward and demanded that the employees doing the same thing.

“Given that you will die is the best ways I know to avoid the trap of thinking that makes you lose,” said Mr. Jobs said in a speech at Stanford University in June 2005, nearly a year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
