A lot has been written about Steve Jobs.
Hell, I’ve done a lot of it myself … however generally, everything said about the man is always about his genius.
That makes sense, because he was one, but rarely do you hear the human side of Jobs.
Sure, there’s his university speeches and occasionally his corporate ones, but there’s not often anything that reveals a sense of humour.
Now I’ve been told there were occasions where he definitely had one, but all I ever found ‘on record’ was his view on working with the designer, Paul Rand – and that’s more respectful dig than laugh out loud.
And then someone sent me a letter he wrote in the early days of Apple.
A letter that reveals his real sense of humour.
Smart. Dry. Slightly self-depreciating. Self aware.
Or at least I hope it is, because the alternative isn’t funny but terrifying.
