Steve Jobs

Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the Macworld Expo in 2005 (http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/longform/ ())

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living in someone else's life." (Steve Jobs; Stanford Speech) Steve Jobs is a revolutionary businessman who somewhat changed the world the way it is today, by designing new and innovative technology that the everyday man and woman would use. Some call him courageous, and some may call him brave. I call him a visionary.

Steve Jobs was left by his biological parents and was adopted by a married couple, Paul & Clara Jobs. When they have adopted Steve, he had no name. So then, Paul Jobs has given him the name, Steven Paul Jobs. Throughout his life, his father was the one to teach him how to take apart a machine, and put it back together. No matter what it could possibly be, he was in for it. It was among other good things he would do back then. School was not one of them. During his early life, Steve Jobs would fail classes, make teachers be frustrated at him, and he would always think that school was just too boring. During the 1980's, Steve Jobs had no job and no money. The only way he could have earned some money was to code, and then create games. He had no idea what to do. His friend, Steve Wozniak, a engineer who usually worked at Hewlett-Packard, (known as HP), back then was the one who earned the money and helped Steve Jobs on a late Friday night to make the game he was assigned for to earn $5,000. A hero must possess courage and selflessness to  move on in his everyday life. Courage is needed to stand up against enemies or things that made Jobs be pulled to the ground. He was a rebel as well, and that is what made him brave. Jobs always pushed things to its limit, making it ahead of its time. Jobs possesses passion and love for things that are created to change the world. He was meant here to live to show that if you try hard enough on something, then push it to its limit, you will create the unimaginable. Others did not always think he was right, but he did what he himself thought was right.

During Jobs' time, he went around his state to look for inferences and solutions. He was always the kind of man to seek it in his heart that what you do in the world, it will be the next step to what you create. And it doesn't matter how hard it fails, it is just how it is. Steve Jobs was powerful because of his decisions he makes around people. He was the leader of the team because he made the right choices that will benefit not only him, but his colleagues to earn the right amount of money, and the right amount of discipline for Apple. the world's most valuable leading computer company today. "Apple goes public, raising $110 million in one of the biggest initial public offerings to date. By 1982, annual sales climb to $1 billion." ("Key Dates from.."). By pushing his team, he was able to earn more money than anyone expected over a computer. His team had multiple doubts about him, but now, they know he'll lead them to the right path. Steve Jobs was no ordinary man of his time. He saw things that people thought were impossible and won't even exist. Technology never stops growing. It's like you buy a brand new phone, and the next thing you know, the company you bought the phone from just released a brand-new, secondary version of the phone you just bought. He's an inspiration to be among others who have done astonishing things for this world. But breaking barriers is not all he did. "Apple Computer is formed on April Fool's Day, shortly after Wozniak and Jobs create a new computer circuit board in a Silicon Valley garage. The Apple I computer goes on sale for $666.66." ("Key Dates from.."). He was funny at times, and at most times, he was the most serious person you have ever met in your life. You couldn't really mess with him because then he'd mess with you. Don't let him though, because he'll always win,no matter what the case is. Some of the team that first started Apple in Jobs' home garage was fired later on once Apple got to be known world-wide. A little stayed, but with little payment. He knew what he had to do, and the team was not baffled nor angry with him, they trusted him, and moved on. In order to create a successful business like Apple, and maintain responsibility, be courageous, and not only be brave, you had to know ahead of time what you're going to do, and expect multiple outcomes. By doing so, you'll know what to do, before even doing that specific option.

So why is he brave? Why is everyone instantly mature when they meet him? Well, the way he stands up to others and tries to solve the problem that comes to hand is amazing, and yet outstanding. There is no such thing as a normal conversation with Steve Jobs. If you'd like to have a normal conversation, you're going to either need to talk technology, or business. Across the time that Steve was at Apple, Apple has gained enemies, some even phony copies of his creations. IBM (International Business Association) was one of them long ago. "Apple and IBM announce an alliance to develop microprocessors and software. Apple unveils portable PowerBooks."("Key Dates from.."). Jobs gets along with everyone if you do the right thing. Don't do the right thing, and you will suffer the consequences. Long ago, IBM was the enemy of Steve Jobs, they were trying to take everything away from him, just because he was more powerful than IBM itself. You can't really blame Jobs for his actions. He was the right man for the right job at the right time. IBM wasn't. So for 10 years, IBM took control of Apple, and sooner or later, Apple was falling. For 10 years Steve Jobs was shunned by Apple from the new CEO credited by IBM (International Business Association) for losing not only the war with them, but making Apple more successful then it should be of its' time. Soon after a while, Jobs got married and had two kids. "Jobs spent the next ten years away from Apple but was by no means taking time off. " (Computer History Museum). He wasn't lonely, and he wasn't sad. Actually 10 years away from Apple was the best thing ever for him. He visited so many places and became more familiar with surroundings. Not only that, he was trying to look for more than freedom, but just serenity. As Steve Jobs was not part of Apple for a while, he was building side-projects, such as NExT (another computer company that was worked on by his original team members and he joined as a team project leader). IBM then again, started noticing his new company, and they finally wanted him back as CEO. Later on, about 3 weeks after NExT was popular, he joined Apple as CEO to start a revolutionary decade of technology, either kicking out members of the company who treated him poorly and/or made themselves useless. Realizing that Apple is nothing without Steve and his intellectual mind of business and bringing what everyone wants to reality is truly amazing. He shows what other can't do, simply by just being there and leading the worlds, yet again, most valuable company. Jobs was always a dreamer. He imagined his whole life as a dream. Yet there is a outstanding fact in dreams.. It is that anything can happen in them. Jobs proved that. Dream big. As a matter of fact, dream gigantically and show the world what it should become. The struggle, the hate, and not even the rejection that Steve Jobs received has put him down. In fact, it's what brought him up higher. People learn from their mistakes, it's how they become brighter and simplistic. Simplicity is the profound idea of all this. There is nothing more easier then going straight to the point. Steve  Jobs inspires me to make objects, not only, ahead of its' time, but to make it revolutionary and make it so valuable, that people just holding any device I might create, feel valuable as well.

With many thoughts about Steve Jobs, I believe that he is the most creative, and yet notable hero of all time. He created the unimaginable and yet he wasn't in it for the money, and he wasn't in it for the fame either. He was only there to support the world for its' lack of technology to help shape the world how it is today.
