Sanchez01: [size=90pt]Muller or Neymar. I would have chosen Di Maria but Messi is involved! [/size]

blink182: Nobody is born great. All great men are made. It is a matter of choosing the path less travelled.

I doubt this generation will see another Steve Jobs. If he didn't sell his shares he would have been the richest man by a far margin. Apple is the most profitable company in history and they are sitting on a cash reserve of over $100bn. At the Peak share value, all outstanding shares had a combined value of $660bn. This was the time Steve was supposed to be the world richest. Funny enough Steve was not in it to make money but to change the world.

He is greater than Albert Einstein, Ford and Edison combined. He single handedly made mainframes obsolete, brought about the world of personal computing, made the computer software more user friendly, added fonts to the computer, created the first design software-Andy warhol giggled like a baby when he drew his first circle with a PC. Then there are computer hardwares like being able to print out what you just designed on your PC and lots more. This was just his first phase.

Then came the second phase where the mac was redesigned, the ipod, iTunes, iphone, ipads, Mac book air, Mac book pro, pixar and creating the foundation for the app store.

He replaced the Walkman and disc man and continued shrinking there size to the nano. He brought cloud hosting and so many more. Just one man.

coded01: We Welcome Suarez to the Club of Champions!


He would score plenty of goals and also would bite if he snaps... ---- Ramos, Pepe & Ronaldo beware!


Gamers you are officially permitted to replace Real Madrid with Barcelona... --- Suarez -Messi...Neymar...

blink182: You are just a kid who does not know business history. I never should have started conversing with you. You are just a waste of time and resources. This is what you become when you are incapable of conducting proper research and will rather rely on the story of others instead of pulling information from the source directly.

I said Steve was sacked and you want to capitalize on that, he was not even asked to leave apple only sent to head a team he did not like. He left on his own and sold about 100m shares he had. If there was any mistake at all, John Scully and Mike Markkula are guilty. Apple tanked and.....do you even know those guys? I am just wasting my time here trying to educate someone who thinks he knows it all.

blink182: Steve Jobs was never a failure. He was a millionaire by 21, worth $10m by 22 and $100m by 23. It got to his head and he started misbehaving and became over bearing thinking he could make no mistake. He really did not make any mistake though but John Sculley had a different view from Steve and resulted in the sack of Jobs.

blink182: Steve Scott is a human being like you and you should be objective. That is the reason you have a brain, use it!

If at all I learnt anything from Steve, it is to be careful how you sell voting shares to investors because you could own 20% of your company with investors owning not more than 8% individually but they can combine voting strength and push you out.

Lilimax: Benjamin Franklin once said: “The man who does things makes many mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing.”

Many of the world’s wealthiest people have failed in business, some more than once. What sets them apart from other ‘failures’ is their ability to learn from their experiences and put failure behind them. We should never be afraid to fail; only to fail to learn from our failures.
Failure can be a great teacher – it teaches us what not to do.
Our lives are filled with goal-setting and working to achieve those goals, and when we do something that doesn’t get us where we want to be we can choose to either give up or to try something else. And at that point we already know one approach that won’t work.

Failure is a motivator. Nobody likes to fail and it can make us even more determined to find success.

Failure is never seen as the end result of a drive toward a goal; it’s only a setback.

This ability to fall and rise again builds character in a person...Culled from Cornerstone Business solution.

STENON: I'm also a Victim..

Snc my First Day on earth, I dislike that course. Bt My Parnt wish I shld go for Medicine.
Although, Throughout my Primary, secondary and evn till now that I'm in Higher Institution, some People never stop calling me "Doctor".

Academically and Physically, I'l do well in Medicine.
Bt Mentally and Emmotionally, The interest is nt jst there. They refused to pay for my OAU PD some yrs ago, after passing their entrance exam simply because I'm going for PMC(Physics,Maths and chemistry oriented course).

Bt i dnt have interest in that Medicine.
I have so much interest in Geophysics(Exploration aspect).

Thank God for my Life now, I'm very comfortable, Happy and Performing Excellently in my Present course. Though they said I'l be young wen I graduate and that I shld wrt anoda Jamb and go for Medicine, bt I'v told them that I can'nt and I won't, because My Plan is to cross to Geophysics at Masters Level,Go for my PhD immediately and become A Doctor in my Discipline.

I think this is the only way that I'v offended my Parent.
