"Don't let the noise of others opinions
drown out your inner voice" - Steve Jobs on
Feb 24, 1955 a child was born to unmarried
University students; Swiss German
American mother
John is Schieble and Syrian born father
John Abdul Fatah Jandali. But the child
was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs;
residents of Cupertino, California now
known as Silicon Valley. His father Paul
encouraged him to experiment with
electronics in their garage. This led to
a lifelong interest in electronics in
him which made him the most promising
leader in technology Steven Paul Jobs
famously known as Steve Jobs. As a boy he
was a little mischievous and brilliant,
however he didn't like traditional
school education. He dropped out of Reed
College in Portland, Oregon
Took a job at Atari corporation as a
video game designer in early 1974 and
saved some money to travel to India.
After returning to the United States
Jobs met his former school friend
Steven Wozniak in 1974 who was a
designer and developer at Hewlett
Packard, famously known as HP. He was one
of the first entrepreneurs to dream of
making personal computers for people.
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne
founded Apple in sauce family garage in
1974 for which Jobs sold his Volkswagon
minibus and Wozniak his programmable
calculator. In July 1976, the company's
first computer Apple I went on sale.
Its sales started to rise simultaneously
incorporating Apple in 1977. While
Apple I was rocketing on sale Apple
became a well-known name in Silicon
Valley. Then Jobs and Wozniak prepared
to launch Apple II working hard on it.
Like Apple I Apple II brought the
next rise of success. Soon Apple became
the most perfect example of success in
Silicon Valley reaching 100 million
dollar revenue. As it's said, "Too many
cooks in the kitten spoil the soup."
As the company began to grow things
began to change with schism. There
were two groups working on the next
project of her father after Lisa and
Apple Macintosh but Jobs was compelled
to work for Macintosh which the Apple
Board of Management never took seriously to and launched it in 1984.
Macintosh sales were good but not as high as the
previous two projects. Jobs was at is
worst that he had been facing
difficulties with then CEO John Sculley
whom he hired in 1983 to manage the
company that he co-founded asking a very
famous question, "You want to sell sugar
water for the rest of your life or do
you want to come with me
and change the world ?" People say when bad
luck is near by man he starts making bad
decisions and the same thing happened in
the Apple board that Jobs was thrown out
of the company choosing Sculley over
him. And then everyone knows that Apple
faced a lot of troubles under Sculley's
leadership after the leader who dreamt
of the vision of the company gone. Sculley
never found it Jobs' policies to
compete with various market share
holders especially Microsoft. The project's
Sculley worked with were proved failed.
For example; regardless of the vision and the
value of the company, launching more
computers, producing speakers in cameras
which were not the niche of the company,
launching Apple Newton etc. Sculley tried
to fix the issues, however he failed.
Apple shares began to drop and ultimately
he was replaced by Michael Spindler in
1993, but Spindler's leadership also
couldn't rediscover the success that
Apple had with Jobs and again he was
replaced by Gil Amelio in 1996.
In the next side, Jobs was doing his best
to establish his next company NeXT that
had its own trouble trying to find the
way to the market captured by other giants.
He wanted to make its own operating
system NEXTSTEP and alternative to
Windows. Steve Jurvetson an American
businessman and venture capitalist
summarizes Steve Jobs' time in NeXT. "Steve
Jobs was intensely passionate about his
products, effusing an infectious
enthusiasm that stretched from one-on-one
recruiting pitches to auditorium -scale demagoguery.
It all came so naturally for him because
he was in love, living  Shakespearean sonnet.
It with tragic turns and unrequited era
of exile, and ultimately the triumphant
reunion. At the personal and corporate
levels, it is the archetype of the Hero's
Journey turned hyperbole. You might have
heard people saying, "Do your best, the
opportunity itself follows you."
Apple called him back acquiring his
company NeXT in 1997. It didn't take him
long to replace Amelio and finally he
rebuilt the company within a short span
of time.
Jobs began eliminating the secondary
projects which were disturbing the
company's core value and refocused on
strong design and the desirable software
experience. We know this is the main
point that every former CEOs of Apple
simply failed to understand with which
norm the company was born.
He strategically acquired several built in
soft wares, video editing tools in
Apple's operating system Mac OS X to
ease the process. Since 2001, Apple has
reached new heights making Jobs the most
influential CEO in the history of
the tech industry with its attractive
gadgets the Mac and iPod. The iPhone in
2007, the iPad in 2010 and many other
products. Not only that at least the very
first company to reach the trillion
dollar milestone. According to Nasdaq
Apple's current valuation is 1.34 trillion dollar.
Unfortunately Jobs past away on October
5, 2011 due to pancreatic cancer leaving
his contribution to innovative
technology an inspiring story to us.
Some interesting facts about Steve Jobs.
Jobs was believed to be scared of
buttons. Although there's no strong
evidence about it, he was said to be
dyslexic; means a person having the
learning disability characterized by
reading and writing difficulties. He
dropped out of school since he didn't
like education and believed that
education didn't have any practical
application in his life. He traveled to
India to seek enlightenment and returned
as Buddhist. Before co-founding Apple
Jobs worked for Atari as an employee
number 40 as a technician where he was
hired only because they would have to
pay less since he had no engineering
degree and any special skills at al.l
Jobs brought a game called breakout from
Atari for which Atari was going to pay
him $ 5,000 to develop it but he said to
Wozniak Atari would pay $ 700 for it and
if it would be halved between them he
would give the project to Wozniak and he
had to complete it in four days.
Wozniak completed it on time and Jobs
paid Wozniak on the $350 and kept the rest
himself. Neither he studied programming nor
he wrote a programming code. As a CEO he
withdrew only $1 a year from Apple's
account as salary. Every iPhone add
displays the time 9:41 a.m. the time
Jobs unveiled in 2007. When engineers
sold the very first iPod prototype
to Jobs for his approval,
Jobs rejected it saying to build
smaller but the engineers explained that
it was simply impossible to make it any
smaller. Jobs dropped the iPod into an
aquarium and showed the air bubbles to
prove that there was empty space and it
could be made even smaller than that.
Once a secretary told Jobs that she was
late for work because our car wouldn't
start. Jobs threw her a set of keys of
a brand-new Jaguar saying her not to be
late anymore. Steve Jobs' bio is one of the most
highlighted Kindle books ever. Jobs was
awarded with 141 new patents since his
death and in total 458. Jobs once called
Google to tell them the
second yellow "O" wasn't quite right on
Google app logo on Apple App Store.
When apple started designating employee
numbers, the two co-founders of Apple,
Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs got
No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.
Jobs chose to have No. 0 instead
as he wanted to be second to none
and he still it came before No. 1. A
rare Apple I computer built in Steve
Jobs' in the summer of 1976 was
sold at an auction in 2014 for US $ 905,000.
Jobs did not let his kids use iPads and limited
their use of technology to a minimum.
Jobs initially denied paternity to his
daughter Lisa which led to a legal case
and eventually he accepted her when the
DNA test proved that she was his
daughter. He denied that Apple Lisa was
named after his daughter Lisa and later
admitted it himself. Jobs was infamous
for parking his Mercedes in handicapped
parking spots and also used no license
and car with no number plates.
When Jobs and Bill were during the cold
war of theft accusing each other, Gates said,
"I think we both had this rich neighbor
named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the
TV set and found out that you had
already stolen it." Here Gets meant that
they both had copied the same design
from Xerox and it was worthless to
quarrel about it. Jobs believed that taking LSD
lysergic acid diethylamide a
hallucinogenic drug used in psychiatric
therapy and marijuana was the profound
experience he ever had in his life which
would open up his mind to see the world
in a different way. He had the habit of
taking them. Jobs believed that his
fruitarian diet would eliminate the need
of shower to save time. Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher tried Steve's
vegan and fruitarian diet while getting
into the character for the movie Jobs
and ended up in the hospital because it
messed up his pancreas levels.
Jobs himself got him replaced from the post of
CEO for treatment by  the Tim Cook,
the current CEO of Apple, on 24th August 2011,
nearly one and half months before he
died of cancer. Bill Gates wrote his rival Jobs a later
as he was dying which he kept by his
bed. Jobs' last words were said to be,
"Oh wow! Oh wow! Oh wow!". Jobs was buried in an unmarked grave.
according to his wish before his death.
The reason may be that he wanted people
to take his grave normally or some
hidden message was there that he never told.
Some tips in 7 points from Steve Jobs'
 Stanford commencement speech in 2005.
1. Connect the dots. All of us have points in our lives
that he mentioned as dots and these dots
build our future. We can't see them looking
forward but backward. What we did and do
would be the future. We can't go backward
but can do our best at present. Our
current actions determine what we be in future,
so we should do our best even on
a small level which would connect to be
the result of our actions in future.
2. You have to trust in something;
your gut, your destiny, life, karma whatever
because ultimately they are the things
that motivates you when you are
discouraged. 3. Success can be a
substitute and you may have to start
over once again so always be prepared
for it because no one can see the
future. Here Jobs gives his own example
because Jobs himself had to deal
with this situation by being removed from Apple.
Then he started another company
NeXT again from scratch.
4. You've got to find what you love
because when you do something you love
you will never be tired of it and
chances of your success boost up.
5. Remember that death is inevitable
think of what you do when you know that
you are dying today. Don't think about
losing something you are already naked
so do something as if today is the last
day of your life. 6. Your time is limited
so don't waste it living someone else
life. Do best out of what you have today.
7. Always "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." All
the time be stupid and be hungry for
knowledge and feeling of doing something
and then only you can do what the rest of
the world can't even think about.
Let's listen to this beautiful quote of Steve Jobs
"Have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition, they somehow already know
what you truly want to become.
Everyone else is secondary." Think about
