The Childhood That Paul And Clara Jobs

Ed Woolard, His Mentor On The Apple Board, Pressed Jobs For More Than Two Years To Drop The Interim In Front Of His Ceo Title.

Leonardo Da Vinci Had Such A Playful Curiosity. If You Read His Notebooks, You'll See He's Curious About What The Tongue Of A Woodpecker Looks Like, But Also Why The Sky Is Blue, Or How An Emotion Forms On Somebody's Lips. He Understood The Beauty Of Everything. I've Admired Leonardo My Whole Life, Both As A Kid Who Loved Engineering - He Was One Of The Coolest Engineers In History - And Then As A College Student, When I Travelled To See His Notebooks And Paintings.

If You Want To Live Your Life In A Creative Way, As An Artist, You Have To Not Look Back Too Much. You Have To Be Willing To Take Whatever You’ve Done And Whoever You Were And Throw Them Away. The More The Outside World Tries To Reinforce An Image Of You, The Harder It Is To Continue To Be An Artist, Which Is Why A Lot Of Times, Artists Have To Say, “bye. I Have To Go. I’m Going Crazy And I’m Getting Out Of Here.” And They Go And Hibernate Somewhere. Maybe Later They Re-emerge A Little Differently. (steve Jobs)
