This is the favourite quote of the man who stepped down as chief executive of his beloved company Apple Inc. on wednesday. He gave ipone, ipod, itunes, ipad and became the iman (innovative man) of the world. He is one of the few persons who never gave up his ruthless zeal even in the hardest of times.
Name of this I-Man is Steven Paul ''Steve'' Jobs (born February 24, 1955 in California, U.S.) was a psychedelic, drug-taking college drop out who drifted around India searching for enlightment.

He is the co-founder, chairman and former CEO of Apple Inc. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney. At £210 billion, Apple is worth more than the total US corporate income tax for 2011 and, separately, the 32 biggest eurozone banks.But this week Jobs, 56, who underwent a liver transplant in 2009 and has battled pancreatic cancer, announced he was stepping down as chief executive to become Apple chairman due to ill health. Chief operating officer Tim Cook will take over.
In a short letter to a the Apple board, Job wrote; ''I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's chief executive, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.''
Google chairman Eric Schmidt said of Jobs yesterday; ''He uniquely combined an artist's touch and an engineer's vision to build an extra-ordinary company - one of the greatest American leaders in history.''
Stephen Fry, a long-time admirer of Jobs, said: ''I don't think there is another human being on the planet who has been more influential in the last 30 years on the way culture has developed.''
In June -returning from open-ended medical leave - Jobs launched the i-cloud, a system that can store all electronic content wirelessly on Apple servers and ''push'' them to your devices.
It is a typical piece of Steve Jobs innovation - daring, ground-breaking and a technology that could soon be in every home.
