STEVE JOB- HIS QUALITIES
=====================
The lots of things are being told and written about Steve Job a founder of Apple. However still his close associates and friends remembers him and some new features of his life are coming up.
Steve was always great searcher of truth. Therefore he took his  journey to India for his spiritual feedback. However he was disappointed up to some extent.He appreciated that Indian people largely depends upon on their inner intuition for facing the life. Besides that he also learnt from India that one has to go according to his inner voice rather than  the opinion around him. It seems that was the foundation of his success.
                                              This was a time when Steve was out of apple.One of his associates Randy Adams  stated  that he was very particular and meticulous. He removed all his expensive cars from front parking when Ross Perot visited his company ‘NeXT’ to make investment  therein. Steve told Adams that ‘ He does not want Perot to carry impression that we have lot of money’ However Ross Perot invested 20 million dollars then and became director in the said company. He further remembers one incident when Bill Gates visited NeXT and waiting to meet Steve for one hours. He has to  keep Bill Gates engaged at reception area during that period. He further remarked that Steve did not appeared to be busy during said period but ‘It speaks about their rivalry. Scuff Marks eminent journalist was present when Apple opened its store at Stanford shopping center, Palo Alto. There were lot of black scuff on the floor of store. Scuff asked  looking at those black scuff on the floor to Steve standing next to him’ Whether he was involved in the  designing of the store? He replied ‘Yes’. Then Scuff further added”It was obvious that whoever designed the store had never cleaned a floor in their lifetime”  Steve had not shown any reaction to his remark. But afterward he called all designers  and got it cleaned the white floor by working at night. This shows he was humble to the sincere criticism.Guy Kawaski, ‘Apple’s Chief Liaison to the Mac Developer Community remembered  one incident wherein Steve shows ‘How to cut through all the Bull? He stated in that context’ that  once Steve brought one Gentleman with him at my cubicle and asked my opinion about ‘ Program from a Mac Developer called ‘Knoware’.  I  told him what I thought which was extremely negative.’ when it was done Steve  turn  back to me and said’ Guy this  is a CEO of Knoware. Steve had taste to know when you do great.Heidi Roizon,  Venture Capitalist says Steve was a friend in need and use to help in Grieve.  She says Steve Job called me on 1st march 1989 for some business negotiation. I would have not taken the call as my father died previous night  at Paris.  It was Steve so I fixed the appointment. He came to meet me and when we were talking  I informed him about the sad demise of my father.  “Why are you working? You need to go home. Please talk to me about your father and that too what was important about him. What you loved best about him.” He was very emotional as incidentally he had also lost his mother few months ago. however  I  still remember and appreciate what an incredible things he did for me in helping me grieve. That was Steve Job who can be  really human if situation demands.Emily Brower who was Steve Job  Aid at press conferences during his NeXT days says Steve was notice and use to pick up smallest details. Hence we were always careful when we were with him.
                                 This shows that some people may die but their shadows  are always lingering in this world due to the legacy they leave here.
