Not actually true. Jobs calling up HP, and asking for parts to build a frequency counter is true, but he never actually worked there.

No wonder Jobs was so keen on using 13 year old Chinese kids to make his iPhones.

now I've actually always found something that to be very true which is most people don't get those experiences because they'd never asked I've never found anybody that didn't want to help me if I asked them for help I always call him up I called up this will date me but I called up Bill Hewlett when I was 12 years old and he lived in Palo Alto his number was still in a phonebook and he answered the phone himself you know yes hi I'm Steve Jobs I'm 12 years old I'm a student in high school and I want to build a frequency counter and I was wondering if you had any spare parts I could have and he laughed and he gave me the spare parts to build his frequency counter and he gave me a job that summer in Hewlett Packard working on the assembly line putting nuts and bolts together on frequency counters he got me a job in the place that built him and I was in heaven and I've never found anyone who said no or hung up the phone when I call I just asked and when people ask me I try to be as responsive to pay that that debt of gratitude back most people never pick up the phone and call most people never ask and that's what separates sometimes the people that do things from the people that just dream about them you got it you got to act and you've got to be willing to fail you've got to be willing to crash and burn you know with people on the phone with starting a company with whatever if you're afraid of failing you won't get very far you
