If everyone thought as Steve Jobs the world would be a better place.

Upon asking what each product in development is supposed to do and receiving answers from his engineering research and development staff, Jobs often replied: "Then why doesn't the product do what it is supposed to do?" Jobs genuinely cared about the product and the consumer using it. He will be missed.

It's a very sad day for any tech-savvy user. His reach was far beyond his company. His vision, and his company revolutionized how we use technology. I think this is the first time (aside from Ronnie James Dio) that I am genuinely sad about a famous person's death.

He once said “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” He's a true dreamer at heart, as most entrepenural people are.
