The Hits and Misses of Steve Jobs

There will be a lot of testimonials going out to Steve Jobs this weekend given the news of his death on Thursday.  People will have lots of different reactions to it.  Personally I find it sad to think that a person who has done so much to change the world will not be around to leave his stamp on the future, and my heart goes out to his family and those who were close to him.

I will be using my spare time over the weekend to find out as much as I can about this man to see what it teaches me about how he has done business for the past 35 years, and I would encourage you to do the same.  For Upper and Lower Sixth, this is your homework for the weekend.

To kick-start things off, here is a nice little article that goes through some of his greatest success stories and failures:

Good luck finding things and I'll look forward to hearing all about it on Monday.

Mr. H
