Jobs yet not done!

Often people from different field prove that the certificates or bookish knowledge is not the thing but it is all about your talent, dedication and willingness that matter. Of-course bit of luck with opportunities also need to make the unbelievable things happen. These two men, both are rich & famous, having so many similarities yet they are very contrasting when you look upon them as a person. Writing about two greats, the Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs the Apple co-founder.

Strange both were born in 1955 and both of them were college dropouts. Bill Gates was dropout from Harvard and Steve Jobs from Reeds College. Gates is mostly devoted to the software while Jobs on both Software as well as Hardware.

Set aside the bit controversies regarding Microsoft, the bullying attitude, its monopoly strategy and the legal hassle with Sun Microsystems, personally you will not find a thing against its former CEO. I considered him as most lovable and the respectable CEO ever lived on this earth. A gem of a person and a genius, very rare combination, always preferred to live pole apart from all sorts of controversies. Steve Jobs may not inherited same human quality as Gates and in philanthropic issues he is never come closure to his counterpart but I am not here to judge him as a person, I salute the man and his luminosity.

Steve Jobs
