The legendary personality, co-founder of Apple company and one of the most influential executives Steve Jobs died on Monday. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer since 2004 and survived liver transplant in 2009. His years of hard, passionate work were rewarded in summer 2011 when Apple was acknowledged to have more cash reserves than the U.S. Treasury. Steve Jobs brought lots of beauty to the world with the efforts and products of his companies.

The Apple devices: iPod, iPhone and iPad, became guides in the immense modern world of different content and made it available in a comfortable, easy way. Long before launching these devices, Steve Jobs invented the concept of PC and a mouse. He used his intuition and trusted his heart and gave a great advice to youth during Stanford University graduation party.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future," he told graduates during a commencement speech in 2005. "You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives," Apple said in a statement. "The world is immeasurably better because of Steve."
