When Steve Jobs, someone who’s never been seen sharing any of his private life with anyone, was asked why he was getting a biography ready he neutrally answered, that one day he would like to tell his children why he wasn’t there for them.
Crude words as they may seem, Jobs’s biography, named “Steve Jobs” and written by Walter Isaacson has gone on to sell almost 400,000 books in its first week, outselling John Grisham itself.
Streve Jobs, the icon, was a success in life and even after gone is still one. Watch this “60 Minutes” (American TV Shoew) special on Steve Jobs.

Becoming a hero is not easy. You may have to read Kvothe’s story in order to get a back-stage pass to the making of a world-class hero.
