You did that Steve. I love the way you embraced your failures. You are known as a perfectionist. But, you were far from perfect...yet I admire you as you're imperfectly perfect.
You're a youth icon because your life story is a tussle between failures and your strong determination. You won Jobs. Your life was truly remarkable.
Even Cancer couldn't kill you glory. You're immortal Jobs. We love you as you give us hope that no matter what happens...we can always make a comeback.
Salute!
