Recess Week














Well, no lessons this week cos it's finally the recess week that everyone has been waiting for! 

However, the main purpose of this post is to pay tribute and honor the works of Steve Jobs (1955-2011).

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

“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.” - Steve Jobs

Despite his long battle with pancreatic cancer, it did not stop him from working his best for his legacy- Apple. Truly, he is inspirational in both his innovations and words. 

It is also sad that he passed away a day after the release of iPhone 4S. Food for thought: many people kept questioning why it wasn't named iPhone 5. However, if you think about it, perhaps the reason is iPhone 4S = iPhone 4 Steve!

All over the world, many teenagers may not even be familiar with the names of their ministers but definitely, Steve Jobs is a household name that everyone will associate at the very first mention of Apple products!
