I have finished reading "Steve Jobs" written by Isaacson. This book had me begin to like Jobs. Although Jobs was emotionally unstable and easily burst into scolding, yelling and crying, he was really smart and had the acumen of knowing what people were yearning for.

I love especially the Coda section (last two pages), the “on-off switch” metaphor of life. Honestly I’m not sure about the afterlife but tend to agree with Jobs, “It’s strange to think that you accumulate all thus experience, and maybe a little wisdom, and it just goes away. So I really want to believe that something survives, that maybe your consciousness endures.”

Years ago I listened to Jobs commencement speech at Stanford on Youtube. The three points, twenty minutes speech moistened my eyes. Should he not been abandoned by his biological parents, should he not been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Jobs, what a Steve would have been? That’s one of the connecting-the-dots points in his speech.
