I read the biography of Steve Jobs and I learnt from it more than I thought I would. It reminded me of the importance of focus, believing in yourself, perseverance, and death. Steve could be really ruthless and he often insulted and drove crazy his own employees which wasn’t justified, but he was still able to push those who stayed to do what they thought was impossible. Steve Jobs with the help of his team changed the world.

The biography of anyone gives a perspective, it's not a life-changing to realize that those behind something were focused and had extraordinary imagination. A perspective is important, yet to see and understand it can some people find difficult. Focus is important for practically everything we do. Imagination varries on person, everyone thinks differently, someone imagined something differently. That is why, perspective is important Self-awareness of your own death is something that you should be aware of at any time. The sooner you realize it, the better. It will spark a realization of reality in a person. Biography of anyone is good "lesson" for us. It will give us the information of the way of thinking of the person or people. Outside the topic - the video is quite good, editing also, yet a nice spoiler allert would be nice. Keep it up, brother.

Thank you for the comment, Sam! I agree with what you said. I only want to emphasise that you go on the journey of reading a biography to learn all these things, you won't know them until you do. Maybe I could've included a spoiler alert, but I don't think it's important as when you read a biography, you do it to learn more about someone since something about them made you curious. If I didn't know who Steve Jobs was beforehand, I wouldn't have picked up the book by any chance. I've pointed out some important moments from his life, but trust me, there's wayyy more going on there. For instance, hearing a few things about what it took to make the first Macintosh a reality is nothing compared to reading in detail about the process which led to its creation. I think you could compare it to the proverb "The journey is the reward." From an outside perspective, everyone finds the end goal the most memorable, but without the journey that led up to it it's not too meaningful. If I wouldn't have read what it took to make it I wouldn't be as amazed as I am.
