I will share my father's impression of Woz.
He didn't work at Apple, but had a lot to do with
them for a while in the early days.
He thought that Woz was a true intuitive genius.
One of the best he had ever met.
He did in a short amount of time what would take
a team of others a long time.
He had such a creative mind about how things could
be done differently, more efficiently more elegant.
He was far away from being a businessman.
My dad thought that was a sign of sanity.
He got increasingly disillusioned with the financial
aspect and seeing how it impacted other people at Apple
(or did not)
He decided to get out it.
He had lots of money already. (He did).
Dad thought that Woz would have preferred to give
exciting solutions away and see what became of them.
He followed his heart and has (I think) enjoyed his
life a lot more than most who just keep chasing more
and more of it.
I am sure he was happy his Apple stock kept incrasing
in value :)
- quickthrower2 6y agoNice summary there. I think anyone who wins the lottery (or similar) would "enjoyed his life a lot more than most who just keep chasing more and more of it." So don't feel bad about chasing!
- swinglock 6y agoHe left after a head injury. Was that truly Woz own pure and simple choice or was it influenced by his accident? Did it change his ability to perform like he did before and thought it wasn't worth it to continue? Did it change his personality? Brain damage aside, did coming close to death by his own hand changed his outlook on life? He never left Apple behind completely. Sure it ended up great but if not for the crash maybe what happened wasn't what he really wanted at the time.
