I read that Steve Jobs became an egoist but you stayed as you were…

I think that Steve is level headed. His reputation for being an egotist is probably not because he sees his own greatness. That probably helps him do the things that make him great with enough confidence that he succeeds a lot. It’s probably more due to the way he has treated others as though they are worth very little and not as great as he. I had a very strong head, with good philosophies that I believed in deeply. I knew who I was and what I wanted from life and what I wanted to be. It sounds unbelievable but it’s true and I’m very lucky for it. I don’t do what others think I should, I stick to being who I want to be. That’s the reason I seem that way…Woz
