yell and scream at engineers
IIRC, he started the company with Woz in a garage. Was eventually booted from his own company when the Pepsi guy tried to ruin Apple, and Jobs wrestled the company back from the brink of extinction.
I don’t care that it took yelling and screaming. Apparently, that’s what was needed.
Can’t make a good omelet without breaking any eggs.
And yet Christ died for your father.
Absolutely did, and if my father asked for forgiveness, Grace and Redemption would be his. But I suspect that the “ i’ve never been arrested” level of his guilt would have prevented that asking.
The truth of the matter is that i was vengeful in the moment. And extremely protective of my youngest brother. It was his daughter molested, among others. Both he and my niece are part of my life.
I do ask forgiveness for being vengeful. . The remaining anger is something that i sweep into my Anxiety Closet, and nail shut.
I don’t pretend to understand God’s Hand. You made me think about this in a different light. Thank you. 🙏
Poignant seven words. You are exactly correct.
Yeah, the *FIRST* company he started was making blue boxes to cheat the Telephone company, and *HE* was the guy selling them while Woz was making them.
In fact, before they became famous as Apple, Jobs was working for Atari, and made a deal to reduce chip count on a Pong design, (I think) and Woz did an excellent job, Jobs collected all the money for Woz's work, and cheated Woz out of his share.
Jobs has always been a sleaze.
and Jobs wrestled the company back from the brink of extinction.
Maybe. Maybe it was Jobs brilliant administrating that did the trick, or maybe the timing was just right and maybe not doing stupid stuff would have been all it took. Maybe Joe Blow down the street could have wrestled Apple back.
When you read up enough on Jobs, you get the impression that he was more of an arrogant flim flam man than a brilliant designer or administrator.
He knew how to talk a big game of sh*t, but i'm not convinced he was particularly good at anything other than lying and screaming.
Bless you. Give your anger to Him. He knows what to do with it. And I hope your precious young women heal completely. I wish I knew Gods plan. I can’t even buy a vowel. All I can do is trust.
not convinced he was particularly good at anything other Than
Truth be told, Jobs is no hero to me, no more than Gates.
Everyone has a role to play.
His plan for today was this message through you. Again, thank you. And May God bless us all.
It could be said that he got what he deserved.
