Great video in fact. But here's the thing, what if you have the energy and passion to persevere - it’s just part of who you are - but nothing happens. I’m sure there have been many great people out there who were “insane” as Jobs put it, but just didn’t find that idea that maded it happen.

I know you make your own luck and all that, but there has to be an element of “right-time-right-place” to all this, a chance event that changes the person’s status.

Jobs could have been just another “brilliant but wierd tech guy” who maybe tried a few things. But he wasn’t, and something else took him to the big league. Citing products is one thing, but to my mind it’s not enough. Combine it with personality, tenacity? Is that all it takes?

I’m still not convinced.
