No, you can't teleport back to the beginning of the computer revolution, so you can't "do everything Steve Jobs or Bill Gates did."
Nor is this advice typically intended for some extreme example like becoming a billionaire or president. It's more like: if you want to have a successful marriage, imitate the guy that's been married for 25 years, don't listen to the advice of the twice divorced guy (unless he's telling you what not to do.)
This is poor advice: every person accomplished in $FOO has had a large component consisting of luck.
You can do everything Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Obama did, and still not get anywhere close to accomplishing what they did.
