It's difficult for me to choose a role model because there are so many successful people worth learning about, and none of them is perfect and uncontroversial.
If I have to choose one. I will say my engineering role model is Steve Jobs.
The first reason I choose him is that his story is charming. If you have read his autobiography, you'll know that even he was forced to leave the company the created, he come back again. The spirit of never giving up deserves people's respect.
Second, he created an important product iPhone. Some of the engineers may focus on building high-performance products, but Steve Jobs is different. He focused on building products that make users a better user experience. The engineer is not only building a product but also servicing customers. Without this, those good-looking fonts, integrated service and great UI design may not appear on our phones.
