Steve Jobs, the most successful CEO today, continuously takes the word INNOVATION to a whole new different level. From coming up with creative marketing strategies to contributing in developing new Apple products, he has been a very prolific person whose achievements are far more better compared to anyone. Ever since he decided that he wanted to “put a dent in the universe”, he was able to pioneer things and eventually lead the most admired company in the world.
Quotes about him:
“The degree to which people in Silicon Valley are afraid of Jobs is unbelievable. He made people feel terrible; he made people cry. But he was almost always right, and even when he was wrong it was so creative it was still amazing”
“It’s weird. He can say, ‘I love white; white is the best.’ And then three months later say, ‘Black is the best; white is not the best.’”
“He doesn’t live with his mistake. It evaporates.”
“He has the ability to change his mind and completely forget his old opinion about something.”
“Democracies don’t make great products. You need a competent tyrant”

Someday I want to be like him. In fact, I could already see myself becoming like him one day… Ha-ha! I could dream right? More than anything, what I admire about him is his “break-the-rules” attitude! For someone who refuses to put a license plate on his Mercedes saying that, “It’s a little game I play”, Steve jobs inspires me to play by my own rules and never be afraid to take risks! He emphasizes that what we should do… “It’d better be damn good!”
