Weekly Quote: Reflecting on Time With Steve Jobs

"Steve once told a group of students, 'You appear, have a chance to blaze in the sky, then you disappear.' He gave an extraordinary amount of thought to how best use our fleeting time." Laurene Powell Jobs from Make Something Wonderful

This week’s quote, shared by Laurene Powell Jobs in the introduction of Make Something Wonderful, a new curated collection from The Steve Jobs Archive featuring speeches, emails, interviews, and personal reflections from the visionary co-founder of Apple.


The quote continues:

He was compelled by the notion of being part of the arc of human existence, animated by the thought that he — or that any of us — might elevate or expedite human progress.

I believe Steve helped change how many of us engage each other and the world around us. He reminds us, both through his reflections in this book and his actions during his life, that our time here is brief, and we should shine as brightly as possible.
