The most interesting thing about Mr. Jobs, and something most of us don't consider, is that along with his amazing feats in technology, were some spectacular failures. As a matter of fact, at one point he was fired by Apple, the company he helped found.
I guess the lesson in all this is that those who are super successful continue to strive to reach their dreams, even when they sometimes fail.

Yes, I agree Steve Jobs was a great innovator, but he was also a horrible person. I don't think he deserves all the praise he's currently getting in the media.

Do you think Bill Gates is any better?

#2.1.1 THINK on 10/15/11 at 10:14 AM

Yes, because unlike steve, Bill Gates is a philanthropist and actively donates his money to charities and other organizations.

Check mate.

And to respond to the buddhist comment. I believe he will most likely come back as a chinese factory worker making Apple products, under extremely poor working conditions and low wages.

Steve Jobs was a buddhist. He believes that he is gonna be reincarnated and come back. Ill be willing to be it will be as an apple. Im glad that i dont eat them. Thats something to think about next time you go shopping at Ingles.

Maybe after his Mother gave him away, it left a bad taste in his mouth for Christianity.

Christianity?

What does that have to do with anything? Besides, Buddhism seems a lot more saner than believing that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

so let me get this straight,if someone builds a business becomes succesfull they should give away their money.they should float the note for the worthless, fat brood mares, that sit around spitting out welfare criminals from god knows how many different men?no wonder company's wont locate in this county.all anybody has to do is read this bolg and visit ingles and they can see what type emploies they would have.bums with their hands out or looking in someone elses pocket.

I think they should donate money to the school that taught you how to spell.
