Here at Cool Blue, we would like to take the time to recognize a man who transformed technology, media, retailing, and built one of the world’s most valuable companies, Mr. Steve Jobs.

Steven P. Jobs, the Apple Inc. chairman and co-founder who pioneered the personal-computer industry and changed the way people think about technology, died peacefully Wednesday at the age of 56 surrounded by his loved ones.

Jobs described his philosophy as trying to make products that were at “the intersection of art and technology,” at the beginning phase of Apple. In doing so, he turned Apple into the world’s most valuable company with a market value of $350 billion.

“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.” – Tim Cook , CEO of Apple

“The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.” – Bill Gates

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life…Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” – Steve Jobs
