This is another aspect I forgot to mention.

Those that truly go from rags to riches know the importance of those that helped him achieve success.

If you want to understand how ridiculous "self-made" is, watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi and understand why Rey's character is awful.

People who end up successful have a lot of help from wise and intelligent people, along with people willing to financially back and thousands to millions of individuals willing to build

Without thess things, you end up with a smart man hitting minor notes of success or has tons of money , status and power given to him by other people.

Obviously, if Steve didn't have the potential to achieve great things or the will, he would of failed disregardless of outside help. But like Rey, people do not become "masters" by teaching themselves and rolf stomping the Masters.

The thing about selfmade is not that you can't receive help from others. Any successful inventor, company founder, scientist or whatever obviously had people that cooperated with them and that inspired them. But they don't get the help out of pity. They get it because they ask for it, or further more they were so convincing that others thought it would be a good thing to support them.

It's not like Wozniak and the early Apple investors approached Jobs with their ideas, it was the other way around. Also you have to realize that personal computers weren't a big industry at that time. There were some technical developments in that direction, but very few people realized that it would be an innovation that will change the world.

Check out this this interview and you will see how visionary he actually was. That't not some sales talk he's doing, he definitely knows what he's talking about. Extremely interesting how he mentions decentralizing power, if you think about it, that is exactly what personal computers and the internet do. I think there's much more meaning behind Apple and its innovations than most people realize.
