Steve Jobs

The story of Steve Jobs is one we aspire to, by the way he fiercely stuck to his guns, both in what he believed and in his meticulous design sense. A life brilliantly captured by Walter Isaacson. He took his inspiration from Eastern philosophy having visited the ashrams of India and the Zen gardens of Kyoto in Japan, which is reflected in the serenity and simplicity of Apple products today. Although his untimely death in October last year has been a blow to the World, it's bought the spotlight onto one of the greatest men of our time. An enlightening read.
