Steve Jobs was sent to other couple by his mother in his childhood. There was no one to guide him.
He was born on February 24, 1955 in California (San Francisco). 

Steve's mother was unmarried, so, She decided to give his son to to other couple.
He was adopted by the couple: Paul and Clara.

His real mother always wanted that the couple to which she would handover his son, should be graduated. But the couple was not graduated. However, Clara was an accountant and Paul was a mechanic. But they promised his real mum that they will always take care of his son and graduate him too.

In 1961, the couple went to California and there Steve's study started. His father, Paul opened a garage in order to earn money in California. 

Steve got himself interested in mechanics and electronics from his father's garage and he started experimenting a lot of things in that.

Steve was very intelligent student. At the same time, he was mischievous too. He always passed with flying colours, teachers also advised him to promote to even higher grade to his parents. But his parents refused to do so.

At the age of 13, he made with friendship with Steve Wozniak, whose mind was also very sharp like that boy. Steve Wozniak also loved electronics. So, they slowly became best friends.

After the study of High school in 1972, Steve was admissioned in Reed college in Portland, Oregon. But the college's fees was too high. His mother and father were working too hard to pay the fees. After realising that he is not interested in study and along with that the fees are also too high, he thought, "College is not important." . And he left college after 6 months!!!

After leaving the college joined calligraphy classes. In this time frame, Steve didn't have any money, and he had to sleep on floor of his friends house.

Steve started selling the bottles of Coca-Cola to earn some money to survive. He walked 7 miles to go to Radha-Krishna mandir to eat free food.

He met his friend, Steve Wozniak again by his friend Fernandez. As the interest of both the boy was in electronics, they decided to make a computer.

They both made a computer in Steve's father's garage. They lacked money. They went here and there , selled things to make that computer. And by this, they converted their passion, imagination and interest into reality. The computer was made small, cheap and more functional.

Their technology was appreciated and admired by many people. Because of his calligraphy knowledge, he inserted varieties of fonts in the computer.

And by this they earned lakhs dollars.

In next 10 years, Apple company became a big and reputed company. But after the promotion of apple 3, the company went into a big loss. And Steve jobs was blamed for the big loss.

And on 17 September, 1985; Steve Jobs was fired from his own company by the board of directors of his company. This time, Steve jobs was badly broken from inside. But he didn't give up. 

Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. 
- Steve Jobs

And after gathering all his strength and daring, Steve jobs started a new company named, NEXT. Its first product was, "High and Personal Product". And it was almost failure.

Although Apple company captured all the market, Steve jobs turned "NEXT Company" into a software company. And then, because of his innovative and creative mind, he earned a lot of money...


From that money he bought a company, and named it PIXAR, [We all know that in today's world, PIXAR is known for its graphics] and evolved company to a great extent. And it also achieved a great attention in the market.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

What was then! Steve jobs never turn back and always moved ahead taking innovation in his one hand and success in the other hand.

On the other hand, Apple company was again in loss. So, Apple bought "NEXT Company" at 470 million dollars. And Steve jobs became the CEO of Apple company!

At that time, Apple has 250 products, but Steve jobs only focused totally on 10 products. Steve believed, "Quality Matters, Quantity doesn't". And achieved the required attention and orders in the market.


Then Gradually, Apple launched iPhone, iPad, iMac and Mac Book, which caused a revolution in the generation of electronics. And these products were the most selled electronics product in the world...

He had that will power, innovative, constructive ideas. After getting kicked out from his own company, he returned back in the form of CEO of the company because of the success of his "NEXT Company", isn't it great?

Steve Jobs always worked as if the day will be the last day of his life, so he did all the things, he dreamt of. One day, he came to know that he have pancreatic cancer. He went for operation, but death is the bitter truth of life. The world lost this great innovator on 5th October 2011.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
