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.
