    The fascinating life of Steve Jobs

    Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in recent time. However, his story really
    began with his mother, Joanne Schieble. When Joanne was pregnant with Steve, she asked
    her father if she could marry Abdulfattah Jandali, Steve’s biological father. However, her
    father simply refused to allow her to marry him as he was Syrian. Joanne was forced to
    break up with Abdulfattah. A little while later Joanne drove to San Francisco to have her
    baby without anyone knowing including Abdulfattah.

    Steve was adopted in San Francisco and had an interest in electronics from a young age. He
    was born on the 24th of February, 1955 and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs who were
    two young graduate students. They named him Steven Paul Jobs. Before Steve went to
    school, Clara taught him how to read and Paul taught him how to work with electronics.
    When Steve was 13 years old, he met 18 year old Steve Wozniak who was also into
    electronics. The two became friends.

    During primary and secondary school, Steve got bored and became a prankster. He was In
    2003 Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has surgery in 2004 to remove
    the tumour and then in 2009, he had a liver transplant. Then On the 5th of October 2011
    Steve Jobs passed away. The movie Brave was dedicated to Steve Jobs.
    frustrated with formal schooling. After Steve graduated from high school, he enrolled at
    Reed College. Reed College was an expensive school but luckily Steve’s parents, Paul and
    Clara had saved up for that moment. After all, they had promised him that he could go to
    Reed College. Steve dropped out after six months, however, he continued to attend creative
    classes including a course on calligraphy.

    When Steve was 19, he got a Job at Atari as a video game designer. Not long after that, he
    went on a trip to India to find “enlightenment” as he was interested in Philosophy. Steve
    travelled around India for seven months studying Buddhism. After this long trip, Steve went
    back to California and kept working at Atari. Steve was a vegetarian and liked to grow his
    own food. He liked going barefoot and rarely wore shoes. This proved to be a problem
    when working with Atari and he eventually left the company.

    Steve was an innovator, an entrepreneur, a motivator, intelligent and persistent.


    He co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak and would eventually became Apple’s CEO.
    However, in 1985 he resigned from Apple. Steve then bought a graphics company and
    renamed it Pixar. In 1991, Pixar received a contract from Disney to create a full movie. The
    contract was signed and they made the first computer animated movie which was Toy Story
    in 1995. It turned out to be a huge success so they made more computer animated movies
    for example; Nemo, Monsters I.N.C., Up and WALL-E. After this success Steve then returned
    to Apple to become the CEO in 1997.
    Steve pushed the boundaries of himself and other people. He is quoted to say, “My job is
    not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better.” Time was valuable to Steve Jobs,
    “My favourite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious
    resource we all have is time”. We will never forget Steve Jobs. He was a fantastic man. He
    made the impossible possible because he pushed the limits with his visions. Steve Paul Jobs
    left many inventions behind; including the IPod, IPhone, IPad, IMac and the ITunes software.

    Even towards the end of his life, Steve was still committed to making a change in the world.
    He was quoted as saying, “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool
    I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.” In 2003 Steve Jobs was
    diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He had surgery in 2004 to remove the tumour and then
    in 2009, he had a liver transplant. Then On the 5th of October 2011 Steve Jobs passed away.
    The movie Brave was dedicated to Steve Jobs.
