“I wanted my kids to know me,” Jobs told Isaacson. “I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.”

Bro chose his legacy over his kids and spent his last days cloying for validation of that decision rip-bozo

Acting like he’s some fuckin’ migrant worker forced to leave his family to get them what they need to survive smh

    Once took an entrepreneurship course in college (dropped it after a couple of weeks) and the gist of it was thinking of “ideas”

    Is a CEO just a guy who came up with a good idea and had the resources to get other people involved and to take all the credit

      Pretty much, being able to “talk well” and having connections are the two main requirements for being in that job area and is why so many CEOs try to mystify the whole process when it’s really just being a wealthier conman.

      A CEO is an ‘ideas guy’ (who are dime a dozen and generally worthless) who has the pedigree and connections to make enough attempts to survive the entrepreneurial lottery and then assign that survivorship to their ‘genius’ when it could be (and generally is) any number of outside factors.

      You don’t even need to be that; you can buy a company started by people who had good ideas, declare yourself the founder and forbid the actual founders from referring to themselves as such.
