Making Beautiful Later

The New York Times has jut released the eulogy that Steve Jobs’ sister gave. I was struck by these words:

Steve always aspired to make beautiful later.

He was willing to be misunderstood.

I always considered myself to be a detail person, but as I began my teaching career, I realized I could see ahead. I could see how something beautiful later.

Steve was humble. Steve liked to keep learning.

In every teaching position that I’ve held, I’ve had to learn something new. I’ve had to prepare for a new grade level or a new subject or a new culture.

And now I find myself here. Learning again.

Hoping to make beautiful later.

Hoping to be able to say:

OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.
