As you may be aware now Steve Jobs passed away last night.
Whether you agree with everything that key figures have to say or what they do, or whether you feel they were lucky, or not. One thing you should do with people who have trodden a useful path before you, is to learn from them.
Throughout my life I have actively sought to try and work with, meet and learn from people better than me. It’s easy to find negatives on things, but learning from the positives is much more productive in the long term.
I’ve flown thousands of miles to meet these people, offered to work for free to learn from them and changed jobs when I was forced to work under people I didn’t respect. But learning from others was always top of my list. So, if you aspire to great things, surround yourself with the right environment and you will learn from that experience. Make sure you do that on your own terms though and not blindly.

Betfair for the iPad
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on August 12th, 2010
I see Betfair have launched an iPad app. I quickly downloaded it but there isn’t a great deal to it at the moment, so don’t rush.
As the iPad has a much bigger screen it is possible to log in and operate via the Betfair web site which works pretty well, thought the username and password entry can be a pain. Simple additions like viewing my P&L for the day would make this app useful but that’s not available, just an account balance etc, the same as on the iPhone app. Also, like the iPhone, it uses the battery hungry location services to make sure you are betting from a legal territory, this is a real pain. Unless Betfair improve this app, I don’t really see it being of great use to me at the moment.
However, If you are interested in downloading it here is the link: -
