Three secrets to writing a blog article that people will click on:

- Summarize Steve Jobs' life so far (thanks, Wikipedia!).

- Copy some quotes from a Fortune article and call them "secrets". http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fortune/0803/gallery.job...

- Summarize and number each quote. Put the total number of quotes in the article title.

#11: Get kicked out of your empire, watch the usurpers drive it into the ground, then come back and repair the damage. People will love you for it.

He didn't just sit back and watch. He built the OS that later on Apple relied on to rebuild the empire. And I don't care what your biases are, that's an incredibly badass comeback to make.

I swear if anyone but Jobs - tries asking "Why are you here?" in a interview with me I'm out...

That's because very few companies put such a public effort into making their products as good as possible. For most companies, asking something like that would be pretension.
