Apparently, in the early days of Apple Inc, Steve Jobs would occasionally sign computer chips, attach them to Apple stationery and send them out randomly to Apple fans. A precursor obviously to his later penchant for responding personally via email to random Apple customers.

Steve’s display of innovative success was a message to be shared with visual creators, he inspired a generation that is now completely visual in part because his success. If you could repost this message, not just to all of those that create; but also to those who don’t. Jobs provided us with a with a great gift, and the ultimate recipe to success: take a risk and fail at what you absolutely love, and live to tell about it; as long as you’re living through your work, there is absolutely no way you will not succeed.
