Steve Jobs

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me." - Steve Jobs

These words spoken by the late innovative tech mogul is what today's companies and industries should live by. Steve Jobs says, that it doesn't matter what he makes at the end of every quarter, his goal is to change the world. There are a few examples that live by these words. A model example is underground music. Whether it is rap or metal, underground music has gained its reputation for not selling out to money-hungry record companies. They don't need state of the art technology to produce the music that touches their fans. That's one of the greatest things that their fans appreciate. Oftentimes when something goes mainstream, whether it's an idea or song, it is repeated, abused and eventually loses its original meaning. Another great example can be found in churches, mosques and temples by observing men of the cloth. They set out to make a connection with their gods and heal others spiritually. Their goal is to promote and establish a relationship between man and God. Unlike most of us, they let go of their worldly possessions for the good of the soul, and the souls of others.
