Steve Jobs a fost un geniu, Steve Jobs nu a fost un inventator ci un inovator, el nu producea produsele Apple pe care le vedem noi astazi insa avea intuitia, claritatea si viziunea care ii dadau posibilitatea de a ghici tot ceea ce au oamenii nevoie. Steve Jobs a fost cel care a propulsat compania Apple pe locul in care o vedem noi astazi insa el nu a dezvoltat componentele hardware sau Mac OS/iOS-ul ci a stiut sa indice exact ce aveau nevoie produsele companiei Apple si a stiut sa le vanda. Steve Jobs a fost un care si-a asumat riscuri si a stiut sa convinga oamenii din jurul sau ca tot ceea ce spune el poate fi obtinut iar asta i-a determinat pe cei de la Fotune Magazine sa il numeasca drept cel mai mare antreprenor al timpurilor noastre.
Jobs’ own intuition, his radar-like feel for emerging technologies and how they could be brought together to create, in his words, “insanely great” products, ultimately made the difference. For Jobs, who died last year at 56, intuition was no mere gut call. It was, as he put it in his often-quoted commencement speech at Stanford, about “connecting the dots,” glimpsing the relationships among wildly disparate life experiences and changes in technology.
Though he could be abusive and mean-spirited to people who threw themselves into their work on his behalf, Steve Jobs has been our generation’s quintessential entrepreneur. Visionary. Inspiring. Brilliant. Mercurial.
