The financial media is having a field day with a letter issued by Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs:
Excerpts…
STEVE JOBS ADDRESSING HIS HEALTH ISSUES; DISCLOSES A HORMONE IMBALANCES THAT CAUSED HIS WEIGHT LOSS; SAYS UNDERGOING TREATMENT, WILL CONTINUE IN CEO ROLE DURING RECOVERY
- Jobs: “The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery. ”
- “doctors think they have found the cause — a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis. ”
- Board says Jobs has its “complete and unwavering support.”
I can’t remember such a time when the health of one CEO was such a topic of discussion and speculation.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
