Hiring and managing "insanely great" people.

I came across this video on YouTube today.

The ideas on hiring (starts 2:41) and managing (7:21) should be seared into the souls of all companies.

Bad Poets; Good Poets

“One of the surest tests (of the superiority or inferiority of a poet) is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest.” — T.S. Eliot from “The Sacred Wood”

Thank you Steve.

Steve

Here’s to the crazy one. The misfit. The rebel. The one who saw things differently.
You could quote him, disagree with him, glorify or vilify him. About the only thing you couldn’t do was ignore him.
Because he changed things. He pushed the human race forward.

I cannot begin to describe what I feel right now.

All I can say is thank you Steve. For the inspiration. For Apple – a company that relentlessly teaches me what I’m capable of. For everything.

You put a ding in my universe.

We picked up this plant a couple of weeks ago at the Mountain View Farmer’s Market. The photo doesn’t do it justice. The flowers are beautiful and it’s easy to grow.
