Steve Jobs announced his resignation from Apple last Wednesday. Since then, there have been many blog posts about what will happen to the future of Apple. Perhaps we would be better to focus on what Steve Jobs has given us and how we can use that to make a difference in the world.

Josh Linkner, Chairman of ePrize, believes Steve Jobs has left us more to work with than we realize. He continues, “While you may organize your thoughts on your MacBook, communicate with your team on your iPhone, and later jam some tunes on your iPod, the impact of Steve Jobs is far greater than the devices he’s provided. Rather, he’s given us a model to reach our full potential.”

Here are 11 Lessons from Steve, according to Josh Linkner:

1. Put Passion First
2. Never Limit Your Imagination
3. Pursue Greatness over Money
4. Demand Excellence
5. Put Yourself Out of Business
6. Challenge Conventional Wisdom
7. Simplify
8. Ignore the Naysayers
9. Persist
10. Never Pigeonhole
11. Push Beyond What You Think is Possible

Enjoy Josh’s entire post, including the descriptions of each lesson, on his blog.
