Steve Jobs was a man of boundless curiosity. The Apple co-founder, who revolutionized personal computing, music, and smartphones, was also a deep thinker with an insatiable hunger for knowledge. But there was one question he could never ask—at least, not in his lifetime. In a 1985 talk in Sweden, Jobs revealed an unusual source of envy: Alexander the Great. The reason? The young conqueror had Aristotle as his personal mentor for over a decade. «I read this, and I became immensely jealous,» Jobs admitted.
