The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, by Alan Deutschman
“I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It
was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced the only thing that kept me going
was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love.”
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, by Alan Deutschman
“The conventional wisdom was that Steve Jobs was a great visionary, but not a good businessman. […] but in his second time at Apple he wasn’t
just a visionary. He made a point of learning how to be a great
businessman.”
Walt Disney “Around here we don’t look backwards for very long… we keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things…”
“The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.” ~Mother Teresa
