As a parent and a citizen I'll take a Bill Gates (or Warren Buffett) over Steve Jobs every time. If we must have billionaires better they should ignore Jobs's example and instead embrace the morality and wisdom of the great industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes Charlie Parker Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.
