CONCLUSION

Santos, Ma. Regina C. Research #1BSIT-2B June 17, 2014

Bill Gates heads the biggest software, services and Internet technologies company in the world. Steve Jobs predicted the personal computer revolution and made it happen. So who is the most powerful? I therefore conclude that Bill Gates is more powerful than Steve Jobs. Why? Come to think of it, bill gates is one of the most richest yet still humble and never took for granted on what he accomplished. He took responsibility when it came to family matters and constantly donated to charitable causes during & after his time as chairman of Microsoft. While Steve Jobs is a demanding perfectionist who ran apple like a dictatorship, Cheated on his friend Steve Wozniak just for a dollar, regularly lost his temper and only donated to charity once. For me, being powerful is not based on what you have right now or you have achieved. Power is not based on wealth. Ability is based on how you run things along your journey. It is how you treat them right and respectively. Wherever you are, whatsoever you suffer right now, stay low.
