What Steve Jobs actually said

  1. Steve Jobs American entrepreneur (1955 to 2011)
    I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
