Essay On Steve Jobs

You may know Steve Jobs as the person who invented the iPod or iPad. What you may not know about him are all his accomplishments and risks he had to take to become the person whom he was.

Steve Jobs has made an impact in my life, and this essay is going to be the explanation of why Steve Jobs should be recognized as a high intellectual person who gave hope to people in the world.

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in the city of San Francisco. His biological parents gave him for adoption.

If I could, I would really want to be a person like he is, and stick to what I believe in and leave a legacy in this world. I believe that anybody in this world could do it, like he did. Even though Steve Jobs is not here with us anymore, he would have wanted people to know that a single idea is what can revolutionize the world completely, and that without any risks, you cannot change the world, for the good. But, as Steve Jobs said, “Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”
