Thread: Steve Jobs and Failure

I posted this in another thread but I think it deserves its own.

Steve Jobs' career is fraught with failure which is why he is so successful.

Lots of digital ink will be spilled about Jobs in the coming days, most of it focusing on his truly marvelous successes.

It's better to focus on his failures.

Jobs failed better than anyone else in Silicon Valley, maybe better than anyone in corporate America. By that I mean Jobs did what only the greatest entrepreneurs can do: learn from their failures. I don't mean learn from their mistakes. I mean learn from their abject, humiliating, bonehead, epic fails.

Yes, this is obviously key!

Great article. Terrible news about his condition...

I bought a Lisa and a 5mb external hard drive the size of a shoebox. 6 years later made about $1000.00 selling the manuals to a computer museum.
