Attitude - He had a passion for something which he felt could be and needed to be changed,

Intelligence - He wasn't a genius. Few innovators are a genius but few innovators are stupid,

Curiosity - Jobs studied calligraphy out of curiosity - It became the foundation of GUI

Sweat - Jobs was a self described "obsessive driven workaholic"
