The Secret Practice Behind Steve Jobs' Success
Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read
Behind Steve Jobs' extraordinary success lay a secret morning practice—one he maintained religiously for 33 years. This wasn't another productivity technique or business strategy, but a profound ritual that transformed a college dropout into one of history's greatest visionaries.
