[quote=Anonymous]I was also wondering about Steve Jobs as a father while listening to some of the press surrounding his passing.  There's no question that he made a great contribution to society and the business world with his vision, but I can't help but feel a little sad for what I assume is the toll it took on his family.  Frankly I feel that way about many great leaders in our country, including President Obama.  Also the military families.  Why do we live in a world where greatness often requires sacrificing your family.  And quite simply, I think that's why there will always be more "great" men that women.  I think there are far fewer women who are willing to make that family sacrifice than there are men.  I also think for many men, it may not even be a conscious choice - men have been socialized to be ambitious, driven, to make that family sacrifice while women have not been.  Sure, I would like to achieve wonderful things, but I'm not willing to miss out on time with my kids to do so.[/quote]
