Book: Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
The part that surprised me the most about Steve jobs is that I had not known that he was fired from Apple in 1985. Instead of sitting back he decided to start new ventures, NeXT and Pixar. Pixar giving him the highest return on investment actually being the investment that turned him into a billionaire, not Apple. I admired his tenacity to decide to move on from the company he built. Steve Jobs encountered adversity but did not let that hinder his path to success. If I could ask Steve Jobs, I would ask him about what other people thought about the skills which he possesses, which others coined the Reality Distortion Field. I would ask for a thought process which he goes through when utilizing this skill. Is it an active thought or just a way of thinking which he does passively, almost as an instinct, and if so how did he come to this way of thinking. No part of the biography confused me, I found interesting all the things that Steve Jobs had accomplished which I wasn’t aware of. His creativity and perseverance is a guiding example that many people should learn something from.
Hey there Jon, I also did my report on Steve Jobs. I found that the book was a great read and I learned so much about him through the book. Similar to you I was also surprised that Pixar is what turned Jobs into a billionaire. Your questions to Steve Jobs were great and I wish we could get the answers to them. Good work man, cheers.
