SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JANUARY 9: Apple CEO Steve Jobs holds up the new iPhone that was introduced at Macworld on January 9, 2007 in San Francisco, California.
"You know I always used to think about the next thing," the Apple boss admits. In turn, he "always sort of puts off happiness until the next thing occurs. And, of course, the next thing never occurs."
And looks like that Cook has been keeping this lesson to himself as he runs one of the largest firms in the world.
According to a report by Apple Insider, Cook took over the Cupertino giant back in 2011 after its late founder, Jobs, had died. It turns out that he has been running the tech firm while Jobs had to take care of his health.
Tim Cook and His Emphasis on Education's Value
The Apple boss shares that he spent his early years in a public school system. He also believes that education is like a foundation that helped him in how he now spearheads the tech giant.
The tech exec further credited education as "the great equalizer of the people. He explained that it essentially "gives everyone an equal chance."
So it looks like Cook has high regard for education. He also took the chance to thank his teachers and, of course, his parents.
