A Difference Of Philosophy

A Difference Of Philosophy

Comic Transcript

BOSS: This has always been your great weakness, Steve… a desire for perfection in all things that overcomes your ability to attain your goals.

BOSS: You call yourself a visionary, but I also have a vision, Steve. A vision where I hold dominion over all things, using whatever tools make themselves available to me. I care nothing for the tools themselves, so long as they perform the tasks I need to accomplish.

BOSS: You, on the other hand… you insist that your tools must exceed your basic need. They must be elegant, well designed, soundly engineered, thoroughly tested, proven reliable, and above all, stylish.

(Silence.)

STEVE JOBS: You forgot “lickable.”

BOSS: So I did.
