It would be a huge challenge to work in that environment, but also hugely rewarding when you find success. Or hugely crushing when you find failure.
But I really appreciate Jobs's sentiment here: you're an Apple VP, which means you can marshall resources to solve problems. If you can't fulfill the title, someone else will.
Do, or do not. There is no try.
