Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs (1955–2011) co-founded Apple in a garage, was forced out of the company, returned to it in 1997 and oversaw the products that reshaped how most of the world listens to music and uses a telephone. He was a famously demanding colleague and a famously precise presenter. His most quoted words come from the commencement address he gave at Stanford on 12 June 2005, two years after a cancer diagnosis — a speech recorded on video and published in transcript, which makes it one of the most verifiable quote sources of the modern era. It is also, in India, one of the most frequently misattributed, often appearing under Swami Vivekananda’s name.
