Steve Jobs
1955–2011 · Co-founder of Apple
He built Apple in a garage, got fired from his own company, then came back and created the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, products that changed how every human on earth interacts with technology. He wasn't the best engineer. He wasn't the best programmer. But nobody alive had a sharper eye for what people needed before they knew they needed it. He demanded perfection from everyone around him, including himself, until the day cancer took him at 56. A Grithosian doesn't settle for good enough. They push until it's right.
