Biography of Steve Jobs is a must-read book which allows us to understand about the most amazing man in that era. He has the ability to distort reality, to make people follow his suggestions willingly and unwillingly; most of the time it would be unwillingly. Steve to me is a very passionate guy, he knows exactly what he wants from his intuition. I still remember the time when he was working with Apple’s advertising agency on Ipad’s advertisement; he could not tell the person exactly what he wanted to see in that and kept on disapproving their draft. He only said “ I would know it when I see it” and that sentence was included in the brief sent to the advertising agency. This incident tells us how demanding, unpleasant Job might be. Most of the time he was right, so people listen to him.

Things that I learn from reading this book is
- You have to be brave and crazy enough to do something different. "Only people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the one who change the world” - Steve Jobs
- When you are doing something just because you love doing that, the result is much better compared to when you aim for the money. Jobs’ vision is to create great products and company, but not making a lot of money
- To be loved/admired by other people, first you have to show them that you deeply care about something. You are you, but not someone else.
