"Great things in business are never
done by one person.
They're done by a team of people."
~ Steve Jobs
In the interview, Jobs reminisces about a widowed man who lived up the street when he was a young boy. The man showed him a rock tumbler, and he and Jobs went out and got a handful of plain old rocks, then put them into the can with liquid and grit powder. They closed up the rock tumbler, turned it on, and then the man told Jobs to "come back tomorrow."
