What an amazing life that guy has had. While the rest of us work for the man, he, at 20, went out and became the man. And continued to be the man as the company grew by 50% a year for about 20 years. That is an incredible feat. Very, very few CEO's have the skill to do that. Even Jobs got ousted. Of course he came back after all those other proven CEO failed. But by that time, Jobs was older and wiser.
