Steve Jobs has become one of the most successful and creative men in the 21st century. He has not only lead a company who has changed the face of cell phones forever, but will always be remembered as such an intelligent man. Steve was born on February of 1995, in San Francisco, California. His biological parents Joanne and John, both University of Wisconsin graduates, gave him up for adoption unnamed.
When he was an infant, Steve was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs and given the iconic name Steve Jobs. As a boy he and his father always would love to work on electronics out of their garage, show at such a young age Steve’s love for technology and insisting his confidence. Even though Steve had been such an intelligent and innovative thinker,

Wazniak would say the reason he and Jobs clicked so well was that, in that time no one really had an understanding on what the computer chip was or could do. After High School, Steve enrolled in College, but dropped out after only six months. In 1976, when Steve was only 21, he and Steve Wozniak started Apple in Jobs garage. In order to afford everything they needed to begin, Jobs had to sell his Volkswagen, while Wazniak sold his favorite scientific …show more content…
This is all about being able to recognize ones own and other peoples emotions. I think he showed this trait when not letting people know when he was first diagnosed with Cancer. Steve knew that if he was to share this news with the world not only would his emotions be thrown out of whack by all the follow up questions about him and everyone’s eyes taken off his work and put on him. He also feared that if people knew that they would begin to be afraid and take there money out of Apple stock and the company could plummet and harm his emotions even more. The other skill I referred to was in Goffman, this idea that we all wear many faces and life is a stage. Steve is the poster child for wearing different faces; He was a businessman and entrepreneur to the public and that is all he ever let them see, showing this when we constantly denied the rumors of a romantic relationship and a daughter. And after his death we learn of his other face he wore, a loving husband and father at home, trying so hard to keep those two worlds separate to again being aware of emotional
Steve wozniak was born in California on August 11, 1950. He was fascinated by electronics at a very early age. As a teenager he designed computers and computer innovations.

As the Apple I, Apple II, and the Macintosh rolled out to the public, the company gained popularity thro...
Steve Jobs was an exemplary leader. In the article it states, “Leaders can learn a lot from the late Apple CEO, but not all of it should be emulated.” In the speech it states, “And just last year, with the introduction of the IPad, Apple jumpstarted an entirely new product category that no one thought they could live without.” Both the article and the speech are recognizing Jobs as being an exemplary leader. The article is saying that jobs leadership style should be studied but not imitative. The speech recognizes his product the IPad and says that, with its introduction it started a brand new category that Jobs led. Jobs leadership style was very much complex. Jobs was focus this is part of why his products have become some of the most treasured in history. He picked a necessity, industrialized a product, and spent his energy finalizing the product. He picked technology and made technology his life. His ability to set a goal and stand dedicated was the finest ability in making him
Steve Jobs once said, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do,” and he did just that. He was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California to Joanna Schieble and John Jandali, who were both unmarried at the time of Jobs’ birth. Joanna’s father did not agree with her being pregnant outside of marriage, so Joanna left before the baby was born and decided to put her newborn son up for adoption. John Jandali, the biological father, never had the chance to meet his son. Several years down the road, the couple married each other and had a daughter, Mona, who is now a successful writer. Paul and Clara Jobs married ten days after they first met and like most newlyweds, they both wanted children, but Clara had an ectopic pregnancy and could no longer bear children so they adopted the young boy shortly after. He is currently known to many people as the man who founded the iPhone and made life much easier. He created much more than just the iPhone, but his life was not always successful. He was adopted, a dropout, fired, and much more, but most importantly, he was an inventor
“The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.” - Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was an incredible businessman and the entrepreneur of Apple.

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." “Jobs's Zen-like ability to focus was accompanied by the related instinct to simplify things by zeroing in on their essence and eliminating unnecessary components. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," declared Apple's first marketing brochure. To see what that means, compare any Apple software with, say, Microsoft Word, which keeps getting uglier and more cluttered with non intuitive navigational ribbons and intrusive features. It is a reminder of the glory of Apple's quest for simplicity.” The article shines through Apple to stops on its founder. Although we easily lose topic from Jobs achievements to Apples achievements this article did well. It told the story of starting from selling home-brewed motherboards and ending with his death in 2011. It told the story of his odd ad campaigns and his well known for quotes. But the article studied on how Jobs kept everything together and was still known for his amazing leadership. Settling for only the best and nothing else was his key. Although most executives couldn't keep their employees attention for long enough to put this through their thick skulls, Jobs did it and did it

He worked on perfecting an illegal gadget called "blue Box" that allowed them to get free long distance calls from pay phones. Jobs helped "Woz" to sell a number of "blue boxes".

Andrea Nakaya is a very intelligent storyteller. Continuously throughout the book she tells the major events in Jobs life. Although she has a great way of revealing his life in chronological order, she should not have included so much information about Jobs partner, Wozniak. Wozniak was a major part of Job’s life as well his success, but we learn way too much about him along the way. The author has a great way of explaining the important events in Steve Job’s life. Andrea Nakaya almost includes too much information throughout the
During senior year in high school, Jobs signed up for an electronics class taught by John McCollum.

On October 28, 1955 William H. Gates III (nicknamed "trey") was born in Seattle. His father was a lawyer (William H. Gates II) and his mother was a schoolteacher. He also had two older sisters who were in high school when Bill was born. Bill attended a public elementary school before he moved to a private school in North Seattle named Lakeside. Lakeside's strong academics enabled Bill to actively get involved with computers (which were the love of his life next to baseball) and use his superior intellect. This was the beginning of a long and successful career in computers. Bill combined his intellect and visions of technology along with his active participation in may charities to make our world a better place.
On February 24, 1955, Steve Paul Jobs was born to Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, parents who wanted the best for their child. As an infant, Jobs was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. Though his biological parents did not attend college, Clara and Paul pledged to start a college fund to make sure Steve would attend college (“Steve Jobs Biography”). As a child, teachers had taken notice in testing abilities; It was so well that school administrators offered to skip him to high school, an offer that his parents declined. Later on he joined the Hewlett-Packard Explorer Club, where he saw his first computer at the age of 12. Ever since, he had been so fascinated with computers and knew he wanted to work with computers. Attending Homestead High School in 1971, he met his future partner, Steve
Steve Jobs lived in close proximity to Stanford, allowing him to be engrained in the new tech hub of the United States, allowing him to meet tech-hippy people like himself. Thus, he was introduced to Steve Woznikak, a programmer who would assist jobs in creating Apple. The two college kids incorporated the company in Jobs’ garage in Los Altos, California. Even though Jobs had knack for internal innovation, he needed assistance to bring Apple to the forefront of the tech boom during the late 1970’s. Jobs had the mindset of a brilliant marketer and in my opinion (saw how technology could adapt through time and eventually change the way humans interact with each other); however, Jobs was very spiritual and at times lost touch with reality. To counter this ...
On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs, Stephen Wozniak and Ronald G. Wayne founded a company called Apple Computer. In the following months, they assembled boards of Apple I computers in the Jobses’ garage and sold them to independent computer dealers in the area. Wozniak was a genius in computers, but he could not market their product, raise money, or operate a business the way Jobs could. It was a perfect combination of skills of the two Steves.
