Jobs on being accountable

I saw the return of Steve Jobs to Apple in 1997 Boston MacWorld and found myself absolutely agreeing with his approach. Steve was right about being accountable for your own mess. Excerpt from his keynote:

"Thank you, Bill.

If we want to move forward, to see Apple healthy and prospering again, we have to let go off a few things here. We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. We have to embrace the notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job.

And if others are going to help us, that’s great! Cause we need all the help we can get. And if we screw up and we don’t do a good job, it’s not somebody else’s fault. It’s our fault. So I think that’s a very important perspective."

As mentioned in the Purification of the Heart, the pursuit of repentance and redemption involves looking inward and not outward.

yerp, quite right. rasenye dia kata.. "doksohlah mung dekki ngak nge maikrosoh nungg.. kite buak hok kite buleh buak doh laa. nok carre ke orangg wat pe.." :D

in a way.. iri hati is fine for healthy competition. jgn hasad/dengki sampai mengjatuhkan org lain.. (as it is in some aggresive-AlphaMale-bureacratic-business only-minded businesses..) heheh. <- description yg terlebih poyo sket.
