Steve Jobs (outlier) was very entitled to his success. He anticipated the future, always pursed perfection, learned anyway he could, always moved forward, surrounded himself with bright people, took risks, and always accomplished what he needed to do now, never wait. Steve Jobs, "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been. And we’ve always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very, very beginning. And we always will.”Apple has been on the cutting edge, and making products better than anyone else for years. The reason they’ve become such a large company, is that Steve was anticipating what peoples needs would be in the future, not what they are right now. His adoptive father told him, that if you’re going to do something, do it RIGHT all the way. Every detail, not matter how big or how small, mattered. It is because of this that he always had incredibly complex products like music players, phones, and computers, designed so that they were incredibly easy to use and elegant to look at. Steve Jobs was a college dropout, but he was far from a dummy. Whether he was learning mechanics from his father, learning about life and expanding his perspective during his global travels, or tinkering with gadgets with groups of like-minded computer “geeks,” Steve was always learning. Any time he was put to the test or suffered a major setback, career or otherwise, he came back better than ever. He and Steve Wozniak ran out of money while developing the first Apple computer. Instead of giving in, he sold his van and Wozniak sold his graphing calculator to come up with the funds. Steve was not a technical guy, he was a leader and marketer. Big risk, big reward. If you’re going to be successful in business, there are going to be times you need to take calculated risks. “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.” - Steve Jobs
