A little known fact

This week will be remembered for the passing of Steve Jobs and the stories being told about how he changed the world. A legacy of that magnitude is almost impossible to comprehend. Who would mind being known as a "world changer" especially in the manner he did it?

Each day I read more and more about him. One fact about Jobs that didn't escape me was this...college drop-out. He dropped out due to the financial burden the university was placing on his parents. His conscience outweighed any temptation to party on mom and dad's dime.

Most would assume that Jobs was a Rhodes scholar. Not quite. He didn't need the credentials.

Jobs proved that leading a life full of purpose, inspiration and accomplishment is all that is needed to be successful. His brand, and his company's will live on forever.
