My Favourite Person

Everybody imitates his favourite person to build up his own dream, career and personality. I
have also my favourite person. He is Steven Paul Jobs. Though I have not seen him in real life.
I have read many things about him. He was born on 24 February,1955 in San
Francisco,California, US. He was raised in the scan Francisco Bay Area. He attended Reed
college in 1972 before dropping out that same year. And traveled through India in 1974 seeking
enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism. Steven Paul Jobs most popularly known as Steve
Jobs.
Jobs and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer.
Together the duo gained fame and wealth a year later with the Apple II, one of the first highly
successful mass-produced microcomputers. Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox
Alto in 1979, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface . This led to the
development of the unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in
1984, the first mass-produced computer with a GUI. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985 after
a long power struggle with the company's board and its then-CEO John Sculley. That same
year, Jobs took a few of Apple members with him to found NeXT, a computer platform
development company that specialized in computers for higher-education and business
markets. In addition, he helped to develop the visual effects industry when he funded the
computer graphics division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm in 1986. The new company was Pixar,
which produced the first 3D computer animated feature film Toy Story (1995).
Jobs became CEO of Apple in 1997, following his company's acquisition of NeXT. He was
largely responsible for helping revive Apple, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy. He
worked closely with designer Jony Ive to develop a line of products that had larger cultural
ramifications, beginning in 1997 with the "Think different" advertising campaign and leading to
the iMac, iTunes, iTunes Store, Apple Store, iPod, iPhone, App Store, and the iPad. In 2001, the
original Mac OS was replaced with the completely new Mac OS X (now known as macOS),
based on NeXT's NeXTSTEP platform, giving the OS a modern Unix-based foundation for the
first time. Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003. He died of
respiratory arrest related to the tumor at age 56 on October 5, 2011. His
dream, personality always inspire me. Hence, he is my favorite person. It is my unadulterated
belief that his personality is really imitative to the present generation.
