I am an introvert who wants to create
I am an extrovert and talk to anyone, but I know this is not the case for everyone. In a conversation with Steve Wozniak—the co-founder of Apple, very often called “Woz”—he told me and other students in a live Zoom call, “I wanted to be an engineer for life and avoid all the visibility and politics of big organizations. I am an introvert who wants to create” (Wozniak, 2021). Steve Wozniak was the engineer behind Apple’s success; Steve Jobs was the operating talent. Woz wasn’t the operating talent; he admits he was simply the technical guy. It was the combination of both skills that made Apple successful.
