Are you on crack? Steve Jobs is a great example of relentless pursuit of a goal, never giving up. From the days of the original Mac he had a vision of how computers should be designed so that humans could use them, and so they could be beautiful as well as functional. When he left Apple and started NeXT the dream didn't die. NeXTStep was the next iteration of his dream. When he returned to Apple he made a series of bold decisions to essentially wipe out large portions of the product line and focus focus focus. NeXTStep formed the basis of OS X. OS X enabled the iPhone and iPad. Steve delayed both until things were ready instead of jumping in too early with a half-baked product. Time and time again he (1) never let go of his goals and ambitions for computers+humans and (2) was not afraid to make big bold decisions that went against the grain. Steve had a long term vision that he held on to and pursued relentlessly for decades. People who say his success was (even in small part) due to "luck" are just trying to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings.
