Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has compared his path to politics with the creation of Apple by Steve Jobs. He made the corresponding statement on Thursday, September 2, during his speech at Stanford University.
The Ukrainian leader noted that one of the most inspiring speeches was delivered from the stage of this educational institution by Jobs.
“Once upon a time Apple began its journey in the garage, started its journey with seemingly crazy ideas. Ukraine has a similar situation: once my team and I were sitting in a small office, generating ideas that no one believed in, about which they said what they often said to Steve Jobs: “It’s impossible,” Zelensky said.
According to him, in order to implement ideas to improve the lives of Ukrainian citizens, he had to lead the country.
