Wise Words from Steven Jobs
Steven Jobs’ success did not come without a few bricks to his head. The largest brick was probably when he was dumped by the company he co-founded in 1985. Apple hired him back in 1997, but he did not let those twelve years discourage him. He purchased Graphics Group and turned it into Pixar. He persevered.
When those bricks come into your world, persevere and keep the faith.
