There's a lesson here about what happens when you refuse to compromise, even when it costs you billions.
It's time to listen and learn.
Silicon Valley didn't exist in 1957.
The place that would birth Apple and Google was still called Santa Clara Valley.
It smelled like apricots.
Seven-year-old Steve Wozniak had just moved to Sunnyvale with his family.
Their street was bordered by orchards on three sides.
But Steve wasn't thinking about fruit trees at all.
He was thinking about electrons.
His father, Jerry, worked at Lockheed on military projects so secret he couldn't mention them at dinner.
But the physics behind them?
That was fair game.
When Steve asked questions, his dad didn't brush him off.
He pulled out a blackboard and started from the beginning.
Wozniak would later write, The way my dad taught me was not to rote memorize how parts are connected to form a gate, but to learn where the electrons flowed to make the gate do its job.
To truly internalize and understand what is going on, not just read some stuff off some blueprint or out of some book.
His dad taught him to see the invisible, to understand not just what electrons did, but why.
Steve's IQ tested over 200.
Everyone knew he was gifted.
But Jerry never pushed.
