Guy Kawasaki

Great timing. Been a fan of apple forever. Learned today that Mr. Kawasaki was deeply involved in the company. Had no idea. Sad really...then to learn that he is also involved in Canva? mind boggling. My wife has been using the platform for awhile now. I was literally on my way to exchange my iPhone to another platform. Thank goodness for me, the store was not open yet. Came home to wait for a few minutes before returning. Not sure what made me do it but I opened the book "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. I usually skip over the opening pages of a novel but I decided to start from the beginning this time. Boy am I glad I did. Got as far as Page 3. Show stopper for me. I totally recall the first time I saw that ad. "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do." - Apple's "Think Different" commercial, 1997. Well, not sure how to say this but the You Tube video of the ad brought back a flood of memories. My connection to apple started a long time ago. I was never a "stand in line overnight" kinda guy but I can safely say that I have been pretty loyal to the brand for a long time. Funny but my attachment to the brand brought my entire family into the Apple universe. My wife, my kids, my mom and my in laws have since joined me and the millions of other Apple fans across the globe. I want to write more but I have to go to the AT&T store in home town. My phone is acting up and I need a new one. This time though I am NOT going to trade in for a non apple branded product. I am going to stick with the group that brought me to this dance in the first place. Thanks Mr. Kawasaki. Okage same de. If I am ever lucky enough to meet you, would love nothing more than to play a little jun ken po. (and maybe get some Shave Ice)
