Steve Jobs: Man, Myth, Legend.

Steve Job's was one of the best business men that there ever was. Job's life can be look at as almost as an inspiration story. Once born, Job's parents put him up for adoption, with good cause. Job's parents lived in poverty, and wanted him to receive a college education, even if it means being adopted. Job's went on to college, with his parents paying for his education. As school went on, he did not see a point in it and dropped out. This was in fact Job's first characteristic as being an entrepreneur. Job's says in his Stanford Commencement Speech "so I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out O.K." and says it "was one of the best decisions i ever made". Although he did drop out of college he still attended the classes that he still wanted to, and learn the things he wanted to. Job's was also a very hard worker. Job's would sleep in his friends room due to him losing his housing rights since dropping out, he collected soda bottles everyday, just to pay for meals and walked across town to the Temple for a good meal. A class that had interested him, was the Calligraphy class. All of this helped jobs become very successful employee at Apple. When designing the first Macintosh computer, his skill with Calligraphy helped the computer seem sophisticated, beautiful typography. Although Job's did start Apple, Job's was actually fired. His co-worker that he gave the job to actually had better ideas than him, which caused Job's firing. For a few months, Jobs did not know what to do. Soon Job's missed his job and what he loved, and decided to start over. Since getting fired, Job's started Pixar, one of the best computer animation studios in existestance. Job's then got re-hired to Apple, the computer in which he started and loved. This goes to show how good of an entrepreneur Job's is. Job's was down for the count, getting fired from his own company, not knowing what to do and by that starting Pixar and Next, then getting put back into his old position at Apple. Job's took a risk, that did not insure promising outcomes, and still did it because he believed in it, and thank god he did, because my child hood would be ruined without Toy Story. Job's states after all this the only thing that kept him going, pursuing his dreams was because he loved his job, and people must find something they love and stick with it, that is the key to success. A couple years ago Job's acquired Pancreatic Cancer. Pancreatic Cancer is a very severe form of cancer, that kills most. Knowing this, Job's continued just to do what he loved, down the road figuring out that it was a rare case of the cancer, and could be cured with surgery. I strongly believe that many things can be learned from Steve Job's life. Job's never gave up no matter what was happening, because he loved what he did. I agree with him here. Giving up means to quit, and by giving up you're quiting on yourself, and my personality is not like that. Retail has strongly benefited from Job's innovations. Such technology including iPods, Macbooks, and iPhones has literally changed the world for the better. It allows consumers to use highly sophisticated technology, in a very simple way, and that's how jobs did it. Job's made it possible for the simple man to obtain such great technology, and use it with ease. Steve Job's was one of the best innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs there ever was.
