Co-founder, Former CEO and Chairman of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs and President Barrack H. Obama II were both the biological sons of Muslim born intellectuals...I say Muslim-born because I see no indication that either of their fathers practiced Islam as adults...And I say intellectuals because Mr. Jobs biological father, AbdulFattah "John" Jandali earned a PhD, while Barrack Obama Sr. did not complete his PhD program at Harvard University...I found it interesting to say the least, this little common thread between two great men of the 21st century...Sort of a crazy coincidence, if you will...
Well anyway, Steve Jobs' sister Mona Simpson said that his last words were "OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW." during the eulogy at his memorial...Although Steve and Mona shared biological parents, Mona was raised by her mother alone while Steve was raised by his adoptive parents, Paul and Clara Jobs...Mona met with her biological father, AbdulFattah "John" Jandali, a Syrian immigrant, when he worked at a coffee shop and he commented to her that he had previously managed a popular restaurant in the Silicon Valley where "Even Steve Jobs used to eat there.Yeah, he was a great tipper." ... Obviously unaware that Steve was his son...Having only met Steve when she was 25, Mona and Steve were amazingly close...
The life and times of Steve Jobs was remarkable...He was creative, imaginative and inventive to say the least... But he wasn't an advocate of the power of one...To the contrary he believed in the power of the collective...He is quoted to have said, "Great things in business are never done by one person, they are done by a team of people."...
