How can you get fired from a company you started?
Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me.
どうやったら自分で始めた会社からクビにされますかね??
アップルを成長させるため共に経営を支えるとても優秀な人間を雇いました。

I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. アップルを解雇されてなかったらこんな出来事は起こらなかったと私は理解しています。とても苦い薬でしたが、私には必要なことだったのです。人生は時に困難を与えます。
