In an interview, Bill Gates talked about Steve Jobs, saying he was a master at « casting spells » to keep Apple from dying. Kind of odd to see a businessman like him use language like « casting spells » but I guess that’s analogies for you.
While it’s really easy to imitate the bad parts of Steve, Gates said, « I have yet to meet any person who in terms of picking talent, hyper-motivating that talent, » who could match him. « He brought some incredibly positive things along with that toughness. »
Jobs was a singular case, Gates said, where Apple was on a path to die and goes on to become the most valuable company in the world. There aren’t going to be many stories like that, he said.
