Given that asking "what would Steve Jobs do?" is probably what Steve Jobs wouldn't do if he was in their situation, would asking that question now be okay?

- djcapelis 15y agoNo, some things are just stupid ideas. Just because Steve wouldn't have done them doesn't now make them good ideas. :)
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoAre you sure? I've read that Margaret Thatcher would ask herself "What would Margaret Thatcher do?" because her public persona had outgrown her own actions. I think Steve Jobs may have been in that same situation where he sometimes felt he had to live up to his own legend.
- danilocampos 15y agoThat strikes me as extremely unlikely. Steve's superpower was never being intimidated by anyone, even in the early days when he had so much more to prove. It's hard to imagine his own image being something that could cast a shadow on him, especially as his successes multiplied.
