The tributes and articles about Steve Jobs keep coming in on the Twitter stream. Tweets from Barack Obama, endless articles talking about his battles with being famous, or even products of his that failed.
But of all the professional articles that have been created, it was the amateur created picture that really stuck out (even though it had been created before this day).
Absolutely beautiful.
This video below also really stuck out for me:

The quote comes originally from the “Think Different” ad campaign and is amazingly powerful.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Powerful stuff.
Imagine if we always looked for the genius in our kids? It might not be what the “test” is looking for, but it is in there. We just have to find it.
