Steve Jobs

I received my monthly Rolling Stone magazine last week and I did not get a chance to read it. Until last night. And wow was I blown away. The cover story is about the great Steve Jobs who passed away a few weeks ago. Titled "The Steve Jobs Nobody Knew", it is written by Jeff Goodell, who met with Steve a couple of times for interviews, as well as social gatherings. He tells how the other side of Steve truly was. The rude, control freak who nedeed everything to be perfect or he would not accept work. But that same person hit a huge bump in the road, and at age 30, everything that was his adult life was gone. And this was what Steve mentioned during his commencetment speech at Stanford. He learned what not to do anymore, what negative stuff to take out of his life, and re invent himself into the great visonary and human he became. The article is amazing, I highly recomend that everyone takes a look at it. I rather give you a chance to read it on your own than have me tell you about it, but just know that you feel like you get to know this incredible human being during his brightest, his lowest, and his most enlighthing times of his life. Which by the way, he also stated that one of the best experiences in his life was dropping acid. Pretty interesting stuff that you might not know about the greatest inventor in the past years. Rolling Stone issue 1142, get it now and have a great time reading.
