RE: A Complicated Relationship - Steve Jobs vs BIll Gates - Book Club #17: "Steve Jobs"
It has to be a bit of both really. Having a bit of a martial arts streak lately, I would liken it to something like a good UFC fight. You see the pressers and the posturing and the hype and the fight itself and it is a war that we cant keep our eyes off of. Then, at the end of a war, the fighters hug each other and know that they put on a show that would not have been possible without a worthy opponent.
They pushed eachother. They evoked emotions and passions in eachother that pushed themselves to the limit......where the innovation and big gains are made.
I bet they had expensive champagne together behind closed doors and Bill misses Steve now.
Great insightful snips from the books again my friend.
Hey @zekepickleman! That is a fantastic connection that you made between martial arts and this question, great job and thanks for sharing!
I agree, it is through this "tug-of-war" style relationship that the future was born and technology advanced for the better. There seems to be a general principle behind the success of nearly every famous person in history - they had something or someone constantly pushing them to better themselves and reach for the next "rung in the ladder". I think Jobs had many of these types of people throughout his life and Gates was definitely one of them.
I would definitely side with that bet - thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts, this is a great connection, I hope more people read this to really round out this post!
Well I appreciate that it is appreciated. Often times, it is the conversations that happen in the comment section of a good post that inspires me to create a post on my own blog......and I have to stop myself from getting mad when I read "Great post. I like you. Please follow and upvote me!" when someone can't be arsed to discuss or even answer the QOTD.
Also, I am obsessive about following only people with TOP NOTCH content that also support others of the like. The list of people I follow and religiously support can only be so large before it gets watered down.
I am glad you are on my feed as we venture down this road and make STEEMit what it is meant to be.
Yep, this also reminds me of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger during the 90s/00s premier league. Both adversaries pushing each other to get the best out of each other.
Exactly. World-class champions become what they are in part by having world-class challengers!
a very interesting novel to read friends. I am very curious about the novel you are saying
It's called Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, I recommend checking it out @antobrampu!
