People look up to Jobs because he managed to achieve the ambitions of many here without giving up his principals. I personally have no burning ambition to cure malaria, does that make me a bad person also?
- josefresco 15y agoI you don't have a burning ambition to help someone ... anyone .. yes IMHO that makes you a 'bad' person. Stockpiling mountains of money that you can leverage to make even bigger mountains of money is not admirable in my book unless the end goal is to then use that to help the most people that you can.
- MrScruff 15y agoNow your twisting things - I didn't claim I have no ambition to help 'anyone', I said I have no ambition to devote my time to charity work. If that makes me a bad person in your eyes, I guess I'll have to learn to live with it. Also, there is no evidence that Jobs was particularly concerned with 'stockpiling mountains of money'. He was mostly concerned with making great products, which he felt was his contribution to the world. I for one am glad that he focused on what he was driven to do, rather than make some token effort to impress journalist and technology forum posters with what a fantastic man he was.
