"By trying to become more like Steve Jobs, someone is automatically signaling that they are, in fact, not like Steve Jobs." Bingo. (But now after our conversation I need to know, how long did it take you to write this essay?)
I used to follow Simon Sarris on X when it was still twitter and it was his writing which first brought me to substack. There have been many instances where I do not agree with what he says, but what is always evident is that every essay is a product of deep reflection and personal experience, and that makes it special.
I’m a big fan of Steve Balmer. Never was super enthralled with Steve Jobs. Appreciate his contributions to tech and the world, he just never became a guy I was in awe of the way he was for others.
Is it bad if I’d never heard of Simon Sarris before reading this?
Excellent post, btw. Others’ lives are never all that they seem.
