He, of all the leaders in the industry, has been the most inspiring.

ALL HE SAYS
“ Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish ”
Not many know, but these words first came at the back of a paperback
published in California in the early 60s, and never really gained attention
until Steve Jobs uttered them at the Stanford Commencement Speech.
