There’s another side to the Steve Jobs Apple fans have come to admire and love over the years. To fully respect and appreciate someone you also need acknowledge their faults.

Hence, the reason for sharing this quote from “The Bite in the Apple” by Chrisann Brennan, Steve Jobs’ former lover and mother to his child – Lisa.

[quote cite=”Chrisann Brennan” url=”http://nypost.com/2013/10/15/steve-jobs-ex-reveals-their-explosive-relationship/”]Of course, it must have been sort of wild to have your genius recognised at the age of twenty-two, to be thrust into such a role of authority.

Steve had always been a brilliant misfit, but at this time — to be generous — he wasn’t managing his growing power very well. In fact, he was positively despotic. Excellence had always been a gorgeous thing in Steve, but now he was using it like a weapon. He’d look for excellence and when he didn’t find it, he’d behave badly and take it out on people.

As Steve’s first girlfriend I increasingly experienced what it felt like to have him turn against me. And so it was at this time that I began to perceive that awesome and awful could be but a hair’s breadth apart.[/quote]
