“I just became 10 times more appreciative of her humility and how humble she was in working with us in East Palo Alto,” Ms. Castro said.
The story, friends and colleagues say, is classic Laurene Powell Jobs. Famous because of her last name and fortune, she has always been private and publicity-averse.

“She’s been mourning for a year,” said Larry Brilliant, who is an old friend of Mr. Jobs. “Her life was about her family and Steve, but she is now emerging as a potent force on the world stage, and this is only the beginning.”
据乔布斯先生的一位老朋友，拉里·布里恩特透露：”因为她丈夫的去世，乔布斯女士整整难过了一年，家庭和丈夫曾是她生活的全部，但是，她现在已成为世界这个舞台上的一股强劲的力量，而她现在所做的一切，还只是开始而已。
