5 unique things about Steve Jobs

- A Short Thread -

[cont...]
1. Steve Jobs never put a license plate on his car

He found a loophole in the California law that said if it's a new car within 6 months

Then you don't need a license plate on it

So he bought the same car, over and over and over again

A Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

[cont...]
2. Steve Jobs had such horrible body odor that Atari placed him on the night shift

That way he had to come into the office alone at night

Why did he smell?

He sometimes ate a fruitarian diet

And therefore thought he didn't have to shower

[cont...]
3. Steve Jobs would take a decade to buy home furniture

He was such a perfectionist that picking out the proper furniture was often too difficult

Remember this next time your perfectionism is slowing down your progress

[cont...]
4. Steve Jobs was fired from his own company

Yep, you heard that right

Apple pushed him out in 1985

John Sculley, who invented the Pepsi Challenge, did not get along with Steve and they struggled for a long time

Steve Jobs soon became CEO, regaining control

[cont...]
5. Steve Jobs did not understand reality

He had "distortion reality field"

Which meant when working on a project, he was unable to comprehend both technological & human capabilities

Oftentimes expecting things done in days, that would take others months

It worked

I'm a huge fan of Steve Jobs

He has changed our lives more than we can even imagine

He was a unique individual to say the least

He even took calligraphy class at a school in Portland

Read his books, I highly suggest them
