Steve Jobs got me running

As everyone knows, Steve Jobs went to the Keynote event in the Sky. 

He had been involved in quite a few amazing things from Breakout, the Mac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone etc but the one invention that had the biggest impact on my life in a weird way ties into the movie forrest gump

I am talking about the Nike + which allowed tracking of runs while listening to music. Provided metrics (distance, pace etc) over time in a great interface. 

Started running in 2007 when I was working at Google and I knew I had to do something. So I got an iPod Nano and got back into running. 

I had tried to get back into running but with no real way to track I did not stick with it. 

But the Nike + user interface and integration with the iPod was so easy. Measure something and it will be done. 

(In the movie Forrest Gump, Forrest runs across the country. So far I am close to 4000 miles. In the movie Forrest invests in some sort of fruit company) 

Steve Jobs failed A Lot. Got rejected. Did not finish college

If you are going to be a success, you will most likely have some mega-failures.
