Apple CEO Tim Cook has always spoken about the important role co-founder Steve Jobs played in his career. In a recent interview, Cook spoke about the life lessons Jobs had imparted and the one that stood out the most.
‘The joy is in the journey’
Cook said that he always “used to to think about the next thing, and always sort of put off the happiness until the next thing occurs.” The next thing, Cook said, that never occurs. Jobs, said the Apple CEO, taught him that “the joy is in the journey.”

He decided to write to Apple CEO Tim Cook and narrated his story in an email. Much to his surprise Cook replied to his email and wrote,“Smit,
