They reveal one of Steve Jobs’ last emails, an emotional and humble message to himself

Steve Jobs wrote himself an e-mail showing his most humble and poetic side.

There is always a tendency to define – especially in the press – the figure of Steve Jobs emphasizing his great communication, his excellent eloquence or his commercial requirement. Yes, good old Steve was an unbeatable communicator, a sublime visionary and a bombastic person. But he had many other sides, which is clear from an email he sent to himself 12 years ago.

They recently revealed via AppleMust one of the last emails Steve Jobs wrote before his devastating death in October 2011. Interestingly – although he used to do this often – it’s an email that he sent himself, perhaps as a timeless reminder. of his human nature and his humility.

it seemed to us such a beautiful and poetic reflection (and so different from what we see today) that we couldn’t help but share this touching and moving letter from Steve Jobs… to Steve Jobs. Enjoy it.

The beautiful reflection of Steve Jobs in one of his last emails

I grow little of the food I eat and the little I grow.

I have not bred or perfected the seeds.

I don’t make any of my clothes.

I speak a language that has not been invented or refined.

I have not discovered the mathematics that I use.

I am protected by freedoms and laws that I did not design or legislate, and that I neither enforce nor judge.

I am moved by music that I did not create myself.

When I needed medical attention, I was unable to survive.

I didn’t invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object-oriented programming, or most of the technologies I work with.

I love and admire my kind, living and dead, and I totally depend on them for my life and well-being.

It’s beautiful isn’t it? We’ve read it about three times already and we can’t stop being moved. It’s really a pity that a human being with such intelligence and with such a deep view of the world no longer stay with us. Below is the translated version of his email.

I didn’t understand the math I’m using.

I am protected by freedoms and laws that I have not considered or legislated, and which I neither enforce nor judge.

When I needed medical attention, I couldn’t help but survive.

I didn’t invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object programming or most of the technologies I work with.

We hope you enjoyed this note that Steve Jobs wanted to share with himself to remember their roots and their humility. He is handsome. Well, you may not have invented microprocessors, Steve Jobs, but without you the world wouldn’t be what it is today. And I probably wouldn’t write this article in your honor. Thanks Steve.
