Jobs's charisma and charm equals his darkness and ability to alienate. This polarity is not exclusive to Jobs and can be found in most genius men or women. The ironically their lives and works influence so many, yet most of us couldn't stand to be around them.
Not all of us can or will be geniuses. Not all of us will have biographies written and documentaries filmed about us, and that's okay. We may be completely level, maybe even boring, but we can and do make a difference. We can influence just a few people and still consider ourselves world changers without all the neurotic overhead.
I don't think society would work if we were all unbalanced geniuses.
