Choose To Be Remembered

I just spent the last few minutes reading quotes about the passing of Steve Jobs from prominent individuals in society such as Tim Cook, President Obama, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, etc.  It caused a little emotion to well up inside me.  As I read the remarks about Steve, I thought about the incredible impact one person can have in this world.  We are so small and yet so capable of amazing things.  It is pretty crazy to ask yourself questions like, "What if Steve Jobs hadn't been born?" or "What if Steve Jobs hadn't returned to Apple in the 90's?"  What would we be using to talk to each other?  What would we use for a computer?  Where would I be sitting right now rather than the Apple Store?  Steve took the talents he was given and he made something happen.  He was a brilliant businessman and inventor.  The incredible thing is that we all have something to give to the world.  We can all contribute.  We may not be as known as Steve Jobs but we can bless the lives of other individuals in a way only we could.  So ask yourself, "What would the world be like without me?"  Realize your worth and potential and strive for the top.  By so doing, you too may be remembered by millions.  And if it isn't millions, it will surely be hundreds.  The number is insignificant.  What is significant are the lives you will change and legacy you will leave.
