Steve Jobs - Life Goes On (Inspirational Interview)

Steve Jobs talks about how he learned to be in guard against arrogance. He tells us how he overcame the hard times when he was fired from Apple.

Transcript:


Steve Jobs: I think all of us need to be on guard against arrogance, which knocks at the door whenever you're successful.

- Have you lived through that?

Steve Jobs: Oh sure, oh sure.

- Now by that, correct me if I'm wrong, you have an incredible eye with the initial success of Apple. And then other competitors get in, and it's sobering.

Steve Jobs: Well, as you may know, I was basically fired from Apple when I was 30. And was invited to come back 12 years later. So that was difficult when it happened. But maybe the best thing that ever happened to me. There wouldn't be a Pixar if that hadn't happened. And so, you move on, life goes on, and you learn from it. I thought at that moment, what a circle of life. You know? Life is just always mysterious and surprising, and you never know what's around the next corner.

There is no doubt Eminem is a complicated person. His 25-year career has been defined by feuds, violence and toxic male aggression. However, amid the chaos, the rapper has maintained the ability to lay bare his vulnerabilities and acknowledge his weaknesses. Nothing illustrates that complexity better than the fraught relationship between Eminem and Eminem's mom, Debbie Nelson Mathers (maiden name Nelson).

Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, didn’t have the best upbringing. Raised in poverty, his parents grappled with addiction and relationship troubles, scarring the young rapper as he was beginning to carve out an identity. As such, he harbored resentment for his mom and dad, and swore he would break the pattern when it came to his own daughter.
