Ego or quiet confidence?


I saw The Social Network at an industry screening last night.

Have to say I enjoyed it immensely.

One of the key figures in the film is Sean Parker the creator of Napster played by Justin Timberlake.

Parker is portrayed as a guy who takes great pleasure in thumbing his nose at authority.

Mark Zuckerberg succumbs to his charm and ends up creating his business card from a comment by Parker.

According to myth and legend Zuckerberg's card stated I'm the CEO, bitch.

Ya gotta love that kind of ego and attitude.

But I still think I'd settle for the simple straight talking card favoured by Steve Jobs way back in 1979.

We have the same preference. Quiet confidence conveys an understated elegance and professionalism that speaks better to a wider range of audience.

I just want to know how you kept Steve's business card in such good condition for so long ;)
