If you had been able to ask Steve Jobs how he felt in 1985 when he was fired from Apple, what would you have expected him to say? His friends reported that they found him curled up in a foetal position on a mattress in his unfinished house. This is far from the pervading image we have of him now, as the black turtleneck sweater clad icon to whom we might relate to now.
However there was something about Jobs that enabled him to not only found Pixar (sold to Disney) but to return to Apple and turn it into one of the most profitable companies in the world.
