Seems that time is speeding, and we are almost<br />

reaching the end of year 2016. Excited to inaugurate<br />

a fantastic beginning of our corporate Newsletter<br />

“name”. This issue we shall be covering a lot of<br />

exciting new events that had happened during the<br />

year.<br />

The inspiration behind the cover of our first issue is<br />

based on our commitment to you as a family business<br />

to stay united no matter what goes out in the world.<br />

Our announcement of becoming a holding company<br />

may not have come as a surprise to some, but our<br />

commitment to establishing the real meaning of<br />

a holding company stands in every aspect of our<br />

organizations functions, vision, and objectives.<br />

We decided to devote the first issue to all things that<br />

we appreciate inspiring successes and compelling<br />

stories of our various subsidiaries. But what makes a<br />

sotry so compelling? To answer those questions, we<br />

ask some of the people we admire most to describe<br />

and reveal how they turned their experiences into<br />

narrative, whether they’re putting their words on<br />

paper, catching up with friends and family, or simply<br />

reveling in the people and places they encounter day<br />

to day.<br />

Whatever the outcome is, we hope that any of these<br />

stories would inspire you to make a change in the<br />

world around you.<br />

had made so many Apple customers so devoted to the brand, including myself. He<br />

was certaily a force to be reckoned with, moreover he also conducted himswelf as a<br />

ruthless businessman, very tough to please, too picky too petty, so easily agitated,<br />

oppertunities and list goes on. Known for using and stealing his closest friends ideas.<br />

I was not convinced of those findings. it didnt make sense to me seeing such a lovingly created<br />

product so successful by someone with sch negative z all sounded distrubing to me, a brand so<br />

beuaituflly detailed couldn’t like a perfect story, if only I had not come across a very interestung<br />

interview with another Steve.<br />

wait a minute, do you meant to say, there was more than one steve that had founded Apple?<br />

He was called “The Woz” ... Then what? who was this Woz, why was he being intereviewdd<br />

and asked how he felt about Job’s Passing?<br />

what was ineresting in his interveiw is that it was impersonal. he didnt; go<br />

through his thoghts of his loss to his long time freind and partner. yet he kept<br />

describing moments of how they interacted and witnessed many happening<br />

during their relationship.<br />

then something had struck me. at the end of the interview he becasme<br />

tearful.<br />

TH<br />

OTH<br />

I was interegued. He represnted a totally opposite personality of what Job’s had portrayed.<br />

As I started my reaseach about the “WOZ”, I found out that he was the engine that had run the<br />

making of Apple.<br />

Steve Wazniak did most if the engineering on the original Apple 1 and Apple 2. They - Job’s and<br />

Woz -just made it for themselves. Showed it to their friends wanted one. so they got busy making<br />

these computers by hand for their friends and it had literally taken all their spare time. The Jobs

suggested to manufacture a hundred of those computers and before they knew it, they started their<br />

own company. But initially, they were just simply having fun!<br />

When Steve Waz is asked if he was ever interested to take a role on Apple’s Board or a honorary position<br />

with Apple, he declined saying: “I’ve never been asked, but jobs asked near the time he was dying<br />

, if I wanted to return to apple and I said no , I love the life I have . I get to go around and talk to<br />

high schoolers and university students and governemts and inspire them to want to have creations of<br />

technolgy and make that part of their business”.<br />

What struck me most about those two characters is finding the choices they had made to make Apple.<br />

one was tollay giving his all, with no quesitons asked to where this creation will take them and where it<br />

will go. the other was concenrating more on how to make Apple better, more powerful.<br />

in other words they both completed and complemented each other.<br />

But then they both had two very opposite traits. one was known to be a giver and the other<br />

was a taker.<br />

wondering now. is this a general rule of thumb to any succesful business? I<br />

wouldn’t bet on it. but Ic ertrainly believe that having both those schools of<br />

thoughts inteseted in making Apple the best, had contributd for that dream to<br />

exponenatially grow despite of its many opponents and envius encumbenat in<br />

the world of techonogy.<br />

Moral of the story? is it that the taker had taken so much yet recieved very<br />

little time with his family, time making and nurturing freindships and most<br />

of all very little time to enjoy the rest of his life. The giver on the other hand<br />

, thouhg had not gained much pubicity, or wealth, but seemd, at ease with life<br />

and what it had offered him with more time with fmaily, friends and a healthy life<br />

full of content.<br />

The sercret though does not lie in the giuvig or the taking part. its the willingness to still<br />

do so, even though you know the counterpart is doing the opposite. That takes a lot of courage<br />

and belief that nothing can harm you. not even oversharing the joy of discovering new hhoriszons<br />

with such an intircatly designed machine.<br />

That’s who the other Steve was.<br />
