A Reflection: Steve Jobs 1955-2011
Wednesday evening October 5th, 2011, Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at age 56. Jobs, who originally founded Apple in 1976, will forever be regarded as a visionary and master innovator who arguably had one of the most profound impacts on a generation that has ever been seen. A college dropout, Jobs pursued his passion for innovation and built the world’s first personal computer in his parent’s garage at age 21. By age 25 his net worth was more than 100 million dollars and by age 30 he was ousted from the company he founded only to return in 1997 to build it into one of the highest valued companies in the world. Jobs, by the standards of society, had everything any individual could ever want.
When I first heard the news of Steve Jobs’ death I was stressed out while in the midst of an intense cram session because of the six exams I have coming up over the next two weeks. The joys of being in my second year of dental school were taking their toll on me. However, after learning the sad news of his death, I suddenly realized how insignificant my stresses really were. In dental school, all of us students get worked up about the next big midterm or practical, board examinations, and patients.

We are fortunate to wake up each day and be able to attend that dreaded lecture or lab session. We are fortunate to be able to enter into a profession where our goal is to help improve the quality of life for our patients. We are fortunate to be able to go home at the end of each day to see our friends, family, spouses and significant others. Plain and simple, we are fortunate.
