apple heaven

steve jobbs is all over the news
the reason the apple name is golden and this company is so great
is that its not about making money only

apple is so much more than just a company or brand
today i am in palo alto california and i am in the same city that steve jobbs lives in

i saw his house its close to where i am staying
its big and wonderful but its also humble down to earth and it blends in with nature
its nothing showy or too fancy
a man who can build a golden palace and rub it in all our faces knows life is not about showing off ur wealth
but rather living in the place that makes you comfortable and happy don't get me wrong it is beautiful and big but it is reasonable and lovely too

today my apple phone died on me so i went in the amazing apple store
a store that is beaming with light full of life
full of young and old people who all wanna be part of the apple revolution

apple is not just a smart brand its artistic its free it symbolizes all the things i believe in

i was stranded in the store: no phone, no car and no idea how to reach my husband
the apple genius and thats what the people who work there to help you understand the apple products more
showed me where the phones are
and i looked to my right i found a table with apple phones being charged and so inviting they all stand shiny and new

i asked the genius: but these phones are not for everyones use are they?
he said yes they are
i asked him: is it for free?
he said yes
now i started getting greedy as i thought of all the international calls i have been making
so you can even make international calls?
he laughed and said yes
i was shocked and i asked and its also for free?
he said yes as he took my i phone to fix it

i stood there amazed for a few seconds and i looked around the store
and i understood what all the fuss is about
its abundance
apple is being so kind so inviting
you can use the internet you can use facebook you can check your mail you can play games you can
make calls you can enjoy apple at the store and you are surrounded by so many people who are willing to help you understand apple better

the phone could not be fixed so the man just gave me a new one
without even telling me he will
like its so easy to be generous

i was so happy
it was like i was in apple heaven

i looked behind him and i saw a homeless lady come in
with white hair so long and tangled it touched the floor
with a hunch back
with so many bags
she looked exactly like the which in snow white
even she felt welcomed
she put her bags under the desk and started using the computer
i recognized her she lives on university avenue

for me it was unbelievable how nobody even looked at her
not even a glance
not the employees not the customers

she stayed there
i left and thanked the apple geniuses
and i booked an appointment to learn how to create a website
to use the garageband
and the i videos too

the place is always busy
the apple store is like apple heaven

next time i go i will call my mother in egypt
its apple heaven and everything is possible



i wish steve jobbs health because the world needs him around
he is such a great inspiration
a modern day hero


"stay hungry,stay foolish" steve jobbs
