His work changed the way we, not only do business, but the way we communicate with each other and the world around us. A friend of mine posted a status update on his Facebook page calling Jobs “the Thomas Edison of our time.” I agree.<\/p>\nWatch his inspirational commencement speech where he discusses the importance of pursuing your dreams. In this life, it’s so easy to see setbacks as failures and believe more in your fears than your faith. Steve Jobs is a perfect example of what can happen with just one idea and a determination to never give up.<\/p>\n<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world said goodbye to a visionary last night as news spread that Apple Computers founder Steve Jobs died.
