Unfortunately though, Avi, you seem to say that as though it were a reason to dismiss him. Dp upi think he was born a creative genius? Or that, maybe, the choices he made throughout his life brought him down the path of creative genius? Returning soda bottles for the deposit money in order to get food certainly gives one cause to think creatively. I wish I could say I had the guts to do that. I agree that Jobs ia a creative genius.

To be successful and not have a college education (or degree as that helps get initial jobs and even some down the line) one has to be a genius like Jobs or Gates and only a few people can be considered such (as well as one needs certain social and economic benefits, in general).

However, there was one paragraph that irked me a bit. The whole thing about how computers today would never have such fancy typefaces if it weren't for his calligraphy class? Oh, please. Get over yourself. Someone else could have done it, and that's such a gross logical fallacy. Other than that, not bad. That was really good. However, there was one paragraph that irked me a bit.
