14 DAY TRIAL // When you hear the name Tim Cook nowadays, you immediately think of a straight-laced, grey-haired operational mastermind who is running the most valuable company in the world. He’s the CEO of Apple Incorporated, and nobody sees him any different.
So when you see these photos of a gawky teenager wearing plaid pants and a hairdo, it’s pretty hard to make a connection between the ‘70s Tim Cook and the 2013 Tim Cook.
But it all comes together again when you look at the man’s achievements: “most studious” two years in a row, winner of his school's oratorical contest, War Eagle (a battle cry, or motto of Auburn University and supporters of Auburn University sports teams).
Check out the gallery below and let us know what you think. It's also worth noting that, unlike Cook, the late Steve Jobs was anything but studious. Yet he somehow had the vision that Cook is seemingly lacking.
