Assignment #10

Steve Job's life story inspired me in that it shows me that life is not perfect. We are thrown into situations in which we may not deem convienient or troublesome, but it all comes down to how we handle them. Even from the beginning of his childhood he started off being adopted. Given up by the same individual who brought him into the world. He was given up with the promise that he would go to college when he became of age, and he did. Eventually he gave up on college because it seemed like a waste of money and effort.

He eventually came to create Apple, his pride and joy. Ironically his investors would come to give up on Job's and he was eventually fired. Feeling betrayed he was stuck in a limbo, but that didn't stop him.

Jobs would later come to to found Pixar and NeXT. Pixar would in turn become successful and famous because of it's hit film "Toy Story". The Walt Disney Company would later come to purchase Pixar and Job's is now the majority shareholder of the company at 7%. NeXT would also be purchased by Apple Inc. and Job's would return to where he started.

This inspirational tale is a sign of proof that anyone can accomplish anything so long as they put in the effort. It also shows that an individual can truly do what they love the most in life. In the case of Steve Job's, it was the creation of innovative ideas.
