Was writing this post at the month of October, my birthday month, and kept it as draft for two months now, till a friend ask this question, what does 13-Dec-2011 means?
Usually for birthday, birthday cake from love one; greetings from friends; replies of thank you to all the greetings; will mark the birthday ocassion. Year after year, mode of greetings changed, birthday cake favour change, way of celebration change.
But day after birthday, wake up as usual, and go through the same life cycle over and over again.
This year I have different perspective of birthday, after the death of Steve Jobs. I asked my friends, do you remember when is Steve Jobs' birthday? None knew about it. Do you care when is Steve Jobs' birthday? None. Do you know what iPhone and iPad are? Yes, almost all do.
We don't care when is Steve Jobs's birthday. But we care about the invention brought to us by Steve Jobs, we care about how Steve Jobs helped us in making our life better.
I believe Steve Jobs wasn't borned to be whom he was and routinely celebrated his birthday every year. He went through his life stories of connecting the dot, love and loss, and death. Which is short, i call this rebirth.
Birthday is a good date to be remembered, of which you were borned to this world. Rebirthday should be the date to celebrate, for which you find your love of life, and live everyday with passion.
Back to the question of the meaning of 13-Dec-2011, the date is written this way too, 13-12-11....(-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) Yes, 13-Dec-2011 is a countdown date. And I will remember this date as the countdown date to rebirth. Happy Rebirthday!
