Apple CEO reveals more about himself
New York
AS Tim Cook becomes more comfortable on centrestage as Apple Inc's CEO, the public is starting to learn more about how past events shaped the intensely private man. Mr Cook, who told George Washington University's graduating class over the weekend to fight injustice, drew on his experience growing up in 1970s Alabama of Governor George Wallace, where he saw first-hand segregation and the trampling of human rights.
"Your challenge is to find work that pays the rent, that puts food on the table and lets you do what is right and good and just," Mr Cook, 54, told the crowd of 25,000 assembled on Sunday. "Find your North Star, let it guide you in life and work, and in your life's work."
