Kara Swisher is not the one who is afraid to leave her comfort zone. When her career in Washington Post was going really well and she was on the trajectory to go really high there, on one bright sunny day she just suddenly had this epiphany that it was time to leave. She just felt she was no longer growing as a journalist there, so she quit the Washington Post for the Wall Street Journal and became their tech reporter. However, the same epiphany occurred years later. She just wanted to do something else that’s better for her. So again she made the choice of leaving another prestigious job.

Kara Swisher interviewed Jobs more than seven times in his lifetime. In the last interview she did with him before his passing when he was looking severely ill, Swisher asked two forthright questions that shocked everyone in the conference. One was “What do you do all day?”Second question was, “What are you going to do with the rest of your life?” She didn’t ask these two questions with mean intentions. She was just genuinely interested and curious. Jobs gave wonderful and thoughtful answers to both questions. Even to his dying days, Jobs was still thinking about innovation.

Swisher says that she thinks Steve Jobs had a successful life because he was who he was. She admires people who are true to themselves. She also wants people to remember her as someone who’s not afraid to be herself when she is gone one day. She also likes to be known as a good parent. She’s proud of her four children. As to what are the keys to good parents? She finds this obsession with academic performance and achievement to be disturbing. She honestly believes that most of her schooling is insignificant. She says she’s ambitious and hardworking simply because she’s happy with what she does. One thing she’s very particular about is that as a parent, you have to teach your kids the consequences of their conducts. You shouldn’t shield them from owning to their mistakes. Moreover she doesn’t believe in sugar-coating reality. Once, she was attending a PTA meeting at one of her sons’ schools, and a parent just remarked that every child was special. She immediately retorted, “No, they are not. If everyone is special, then no one is special! Let’s tell the honest truth here. We all know the rules and the status symbols and how we are always ranking people based on their wealth, status, creativity.”
