Summary
Steve Jobs, the cofounder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc., could answer to any of these descriptions. He was the most unlikely of visionaries. No one ever could have imagined that the tiny terror of third grade, who was later a college dropout and was even fired from the company he cofounded, would ultimately turn his many "failures" into spectacular successes.
