A great quote by Steve Jobs

And I would even add that fear signifies its importance

What a great quote.... from someone who owned a company that uses child labour.

@Redstar it's a great quote regardless of the source. But not everyone understands it

@Axeroberts Don't kid yourself. Everyone understands it. It's not as though it's complicated.
Why would you want to be inspired by a person who was okay with enslaving children?
Axeroberts · 56-60, M
@Redstar stop exaggerating.

@Axeroberts Wow... okay. Here's what I found from taking a few seconds to do a google search
"Apple's annual supplier report – which monitors nearly 400 suppliers – found that children were employed at 11 factories involved in making its products. A number of them had been recruited using forged identity papers"

@Redstar outdated I'm sure. And unfortunately there was and are many huge corporations doing that. But it's still a great quote for living your own life

@Axeroberts Oh, you're sure? Have you actually looked into it? Of course not. But even if Apple doesn't do it anymore, which I highly doubt (they'd just get sneakier about it) his company was doing it when he was alive. That's the point. But for some reason you seem to be perfectly okay with that... :/

@Redstar this had absolutely nothing to do with the quote

@Axeroberts I just I think it would be better to take advice from someone who [i]wasn't[/i] a despicable excuse for a human being.
But hey, I"m only thinking about the children who were forced into slavery because of the company he created.... no big deal🙄
