Their homepage has also too many links placed everywhere making you confused right away to where you specifically want to go next.

The article also mentioned how Jobs discussed his lessons learned in Apple. The first one is ‘Do whatever it takes’. This was about the design of the glass cover in iPhone early in 2007. They were running out of time but the design eventually paid off. Another Job’s lesson was ‘Good ideas take time’ this goes back to NeXT company where he had this idea to turn books, art and music in digital technology which happens to be
