         Steve Jobs was a genius, but also rather crazy. He used to soak (замачивать)
         his feet in toilets to relieve (снять) stress. At one point in his life, he stopped
         taking showers because he believed his meat-free diet (диета без мяса) would
         stop his body from producing body odor (запах).
         He was as a demanding man with a temper (характером), a true perfectionist.
         Jobs used to fire (увольнять) people on the spot (сразу) if there were any
         slight errors (ошибки) made.

         “He was very clear about what he didn’t like and was not filtered with his input
         (вклад).  If  he  was  in  a  meeting  that  was  boring  him,  he  would  be  blunt
         (резкий/прямолинейный) and say ‘I don’t need to see this, let’s move on.’
         And  we  would.  He  couldn’t  stand  losing  time  (не  мог  перенести,  когда
         терялось время).”
         "Once he even stormed out (выбежал) of a 5-star hotel because in his opinion
         it was “a piece of shit”.
         Did you know that Steve Jobs used to eat so many carrots that, at one point, his
         skin turned slightly orange?
