Steve Jobs has passed from us. The loss is both personal and national. He was so personally hands on and just chatting with us, looking and feeling for all the world like our best friend, and all the while changing that world. The biographies and obituaries are front page everywhere--as they should be.
Life exacts its compromises from us all--and often that is the better part of wisdom. But looking back over 65 years, it seems to me the closer you can hold to Jobs' advice--at least at the major crossroads--the more often you will choose risk, renewal and joy rather than compromise, and be happier for it.
