The Man In the Machine

Many people thought that Steven Paul Jobs’ life is perfect from the start. But that’s a
huge humor. He is adopted by his parents because his biological mother is a graduated
teen so she put him for adoption to a lawyer and his wife. So everything was settled but
on last minute they changed they’re mind and wanted a baby girl so he was passed to
his parents now like a ball. I pity him for that.

Since apple started, it started as a humble and persevering company funded by the
smart entrepreneur Steve Jobs and his friend which took the initiative risk to create his
company. Steve even puts his team’s signature in every computer they invented
because he believes that those people who made those masterpiece is an artists
themselves. Through Apple's history there has been its ups and downs questioning the
company's morals and corporate responsibility, this has led to people’s and financiers
thinking of the company and Steve Job as not having any corporate responsibility as
they used to have at the beginning and know they just in about the money. But there’s
one thing is for sure, they deliver amazing products and we can see what vision did
Steve had for its products to be personal and unique with a style that couldn’t be
imitated. According to Steve Jobs “The Man in the Machine", IBM was Goliath and
Apple was David. However, after a battle and realizing that consumers wanted
personalized devices and distinctive products, Apple triumphed over IBM and turned
into the Goliath with little skill, and there hasn't been a David who can topple Apple.
Steve Jobs was ecstatic because Apple was a billion-dollar success and that everyone
adored both Steve and the company. People were happy, there were millions of
products sold, and there were always long lines to purchase new products. We were
deaf, unable to understand that Apple was a monopoly, that they were dodging legal
issues, that even Steve Jobs was controlling the workforce, and that workers for Apple
were not eligible for Google employment.
While watching the movie, I knew that he named one of his computer invention after
her daughter Lisa. I thought that was so sweet of him. But when I watched more longer,

All the heart-warm I’ve felt became anger. He refused to believe the baby was his.

His paternity denial led to a legal battle where a DNA test proved he was indeed the
father. However, he still refuted paternity, claiming “28% of the male population of the
United States could be the father”. Years later, after Jobs left Apple, he acknowledged
Lisa and attempted to reconcile with her. Chrisann Brennan wrote that "he apologized
many times over for his behavior" to her and Lisa and "said that he never took
responsibility when he should have, and that he was sorry". After reconciling with her,
nine-year-old Lisa wanted to change her last name and Jobs was happy and relieved to
agree to it. Jobs legally altered her birth certificate, changing her name from Lisa
Brennan to Lisa Brennan-Jobs. Brennan credits the change in Jobs to the influence of
Brennan-Jobs' newly found biological aunt, author Mona Simpson, who worked to repair
the relationship between Brennan-Jobs and her father. I realized that Steve loved Lisa,
and he regretted that he was not the father he should have been during her early
childhood. It was a great comfort to Steve to have Lisa home with all of us during the
last days of his life, and we are all grateful for the years we spent together as a family.
But I’m still upset on him.

Nevertheless, despite the reconciliation between Jobs and Lisa their relationship
remained difficult. In her autobiography Lisa recounted many episodes of Jobs failing to
be an appropriate parent. He remained mostly distant, cold and made her feel
unwanted; even going as far as refusing to pay her college fees initially. Many people
think he is an evil. At first me too, honestly. He refused to help those people in needs
because he said that it’s not on his spirit. He never gives money because he said that it
is a waste of time. But I’ve realized that it’s not his duty or mission to help. His money is
from all those years of hardwork he had is on his hands. It’s up to him if he wants to
help or not. And that’s inspire me to work harder and harder to be as successful as him.

Steve Jobs may not be nice, but his genius and vision live on in countless other
innovators. Like him, they seek to change lives. But it looks like even a genius person
himself might fall sometimes. I think, Jobs' life had more than one act. In 1977, apple is
so close to bankruptcy. It’s profit plunch from 115 million dollars to 60 million. It was
almost 50 million dollars loss. Honestly I felt a huge amount of disappointment when I
heared about this. Because for me Steve is the last person that I will witness to fail.

But he turned this abstacles into assets. With the help of his team ofcourse. Especially,
Fred Anderson. And after so many trial and errors, they’ve finally said “Mac is Back”.
And I can’t help to be poud and happy. Because he inspired me again, making me
believe that in every failure we can still stand and make things even better than before.

Are you one of them? Whether you’re offering a new product to the market or improving
on other people's concepts, applying these seven highly successful qualities exemplified
by Steve Jobs will help you put a "dint in the universe," as Jobs was fond of saying, and
get you well on your way to business success.

1. Be persistent. Jobs started Apple with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage
in 1976. He was forced out a decade later. He persisted, however, by returning in 1997
to rescue the company. From that time forward, Apple grew into the most valuable
technology company in the world.

2. Keep on keeping on. Jobs rolled out one sensational product after another, even in
the face of the recent recession and his own failing health.

3. Seek to change lives. He helped change computers from a geeky hobbyist's

4. Become ubiquitous. Perhaps most influentially, in 2001 Jobs launched the iPod that
offered over "1,000 songs in your pocket." Over the next 10 years, the device’s thumb-
dial control seemed to become more ubiquitous than the wristwatch.

5. Build frenzy. Under Jobs, Apple cloaked itself in secrecy to build frenzied anticipation
for each of its new products. Plus, Jobs himself had a wizardly sense of what his
customers wanted. Even where demand didn't exist, he leveraged a cultish following.
6. Create a need. In 2007 came the touch-screen iPhone, joined a year later by Apple's
App Store. Here developers could sell iPhone "apps" that made the phone a device not
just for making calls but also for managing money, editing photos, playing games and
social networking.

Jobs introduced the iPad in 2010. The tablet-sized, all-touch computer took off even
though market analysts said no one really needed one.

7. Be true to yourself. Jobs succeeded by following his own "inner voice, heart and
intuition." In his celebrated Stanford commencement address, he said, “Your time is
limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is
living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become.”

Steve Jobs may be gone, yet his genius and vision live on in countless other innovators.

Steve Paul Job’s life influences me even though I have no plans being an entrepreneur.
Because his life has many circumstances, yet he surpassed it all and made his life
perfect even just before he died.
