Mashup of Three News Articles
Mao loved to quote; women hold up half the sky. Last week it was reported that China's richest billionaire is now a woman. Zhang Yin understands the corrupt and controlling pathology of Chinese communism and has understood the imperative to keep ownership and direction. "We don't think in terms of power. Happy and loyal customers are what give Apple its 'power.' It is also true that Zhang could not have made money among his rivals and dissension in the ranks of partners and business allies who don't like the way he dictates his own terms, and theirs too. " How could I? Everyone was watching me. The comparison was always there. I felt lost, confused. But I had to keep going."
Survival depends upon paying tribute. I still hear Gianni's voice, saying, 'Don't make a mistake', The hardest part was the expectation think about creating new innovative products that will surprise and delight our customers. This remains a one-party state, in which every institution is constructed to sustain its monopoly of power. Entrepreneurs such as Zhang Yin only succeed if they find ways around the system. Job’s has some other telltale trappings of power too exploiting the system's fault lines. "It's a presence that hasn't always been a comfort and I think after all these years we've gotten pretty decent at it." In China the party controls, or has the capacity to control, everything. And this year, at the height of his creative and promotional powers, Jobs the tycoon’s subsequent growth, is stunning.

Throughout time, God has provided different paths for every individual person on Earth each of whom have more than one path to take. It is in their decision that they may either live in harmony with nature and society or choice a different path that may lead them elsewhere in life. One thing is predictable however and it is that no one can foresee what lies ahead of their journey.
