There's lots of ways to be as a person.

And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways.

But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity

is to make something wonderful and put it out there.

And you never meet the people, you never shake their hands, you never hear their story,

tell yours, but somehow in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love,

something's transmitted there.

And it's a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation.

So we need to be true to who we are and remember what's really important to us.

That's what's going to keep Apple Apple is if we keep us, us.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I love hearing his voice and his inspiring message.

And it was only fitting that Steve should open his theater.

Thank you.

It is the honor of a lifetime to be the first to welcome you to the Steve Jobs Theater.

Steve meant so much to me and so much to all of us.

There's not a day that goes by that we don't think about him.

Memories have especially come rushing back as we prepared for today and this event.

It's taken some time that we can now reflect on him with joy instead of sadness.

Steve's spirit and timeless philosophy on life will always be the DNA of Apple.

His greatest gift, his greatest expression of his appreciation for humanity,
