Begin

The greatest thing Steve Jobs did? Not the Apple II or the iOS software. I don't think it's his vision for Pixar or development of iTunes which changed the way we listen to music. And sorry to say, I don't think it's the creation of the iPhone or iPad.

Steve Jobs' greatest contribution is that he began.

In a garage with a friend and an idea.

No rules to follow; simply doing what only he could do.

Too many times we get hung up on trying to make something spectacular that we become paralyzed from doing anything at all. You can't change the world if you don't begin somewhere.

Agreed! Just had dinner tonight with friends who are heading to Cambodia next week where they are working to connect 4 kids to people who will sponsor them for a college education ($500 per year in Cambodia - far beyond the young people's means) and that's their thought process.... 4 kids isn't "impressive" but that's a place to start.

I know I have been and am guilty of not starting - thanks for the reminder.
