He was the #1 customer. I think he was building products that were good enough to use himself, because he knew that would impress others. He was a respectful narcissist.

Maybe I'm not using the correct words or my sight isn't accurate, but at least that's the legacy I got from his life.

Building something that makes you proud and you strongly believe it's the best. And convincing people to think about your product the way you do yourself.

I'll give you narcissist, but I don't think Jobs had any respect for anyone else or their opinions.

This may have been a good or bad thing, according to taste.
