Imagine how sad Steve Jobs was when he reaffirmed the call to not perform his fully-funded pancreatic cancer treatment. Do you think he was laying on his deathbed thinking about all the great hours of work he put in at Apple before reaching the pearly gates? Or was he reflecting on the $5,000 he stole from Woz in the name of "accomplishment" earlier on, the ways he ignored his peers when they succeeded with the Apple II, the Lisa he failed to sell in utter vanity, the family he ignored in his delusional ego-trip, the world he forgot in pursuit of a better business?
Maybe if Jobs lived more like Woz he'd not be so eager to die. Accomplishment be damned.
>Or was he reflecting on the $5,000 he stole from Woz in the name of "accomplishment" earlier on
Absolutely not
> Apple II, Lisa
I have a hard time thinking Steve Jobs was thinking of nearly 30 year old commercial failures on his death bed
>Wozniak is living proof that you can be both a smart and productive person without destroying everyone and everything around you
Woz was nowhere near as productive as Jobs and you know it. He had numerous failed business attempts you haven't mentioned, most of his accomplishments seem to be philanthropic and funded by residual Apple wealth. He's regarded as a "darling of the valley", that's it. There were other Engineers who could've designed those early products, but far less Steve Jobs.
It takes more than a big cuddly gullable teddy bear to curate something as impactful as the iPhone, arguably the most significant consumer electronic product in the past 20 years.
> Woz was nowhere near as productive as Jobs and you know it.
Now I need this quote as a stitched sampler to hang over my toilet.
Why didn't Jobs do the Atari contract himself? Why didn't he build the Macintosh alone? Why didn't he build his Phreaking business without the help of others?
Such a vast mystery. The world may never know! It's just so hard to tell... obviously Jobs' genius surpassed Woz's weak intellect!
> He had numerous failed business attempts you haven't mentioned
And Jobs didn't?
> most of his accomplishments seem to be [...] funded by residual Apple wealth
There were many engineers who could've designed those products, but far less people who had the vision. A handful of engineers can design many amazing things, and yes they're essential, but they need use to a consumer. The people who vote with their wallet and keep a company alive.
> And Jobs didn't?
He did, but he certainly redeemed himself. Also there's this little company called Pixar you might've heard of.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize your mouth was congenitally attached to Jobs' penis.
Have you looked into surgery for getting it detached? I've heard there's quite a high chance of success if you don't resign yourself to failure and insist upon a fruit-based diet.
Please, feel free to circle back and respond once your life amounts to something truly meaningful.
I'm looking forward to you spending the rest of your life wallowing in misery so you can "accomplish" less than your adversaries and die an even less-remembered figure than the one guy who played second-fiddle to Jobs.
Seek happiness through accomplishments
