I hope Lauren Jobs knows that Steve Jobs will continue to inspire generations of entrepreneurs. He showed Silicon Valley how to change the world in an exciting and delightful way. Every founder is trying their best to follow his example of excellence, whether they acknowledge it or not. Most fall far short.
Anyone trying to create things should study Jobs, and anyone who does study him (with an open mind) will come away with a profound respect for him as a creator and as a person.
As Elon Musk said, "there was a certain magic about Steve Jobs that was really inspiring"
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things...
- ryandvm 11y agoThe flip side of that is that we're now about 5 years into the phenomenon of managers and entreprenuers cargo-culting assholeism as a way of acheiving success. Every time I read about some jerk lamenting the fact that his employees like to eat dinner with their families, we have guys like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to thank for it.
- staunch 11y agoUnless you're talking about children, you can safely blame the people themselves for their own behavior. Most people who worked with Steve Jobs consider it a highlight of their professional careers. He was as demanding of himself as he was of others, and worked as hard as anyone. These are some of the traits that the assholes don't copy.
