Ms Taylor “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” These famous words have been said by the greatest man of the 21st century, Steve Jobs. This biography will be discussing how Steve Job’s life was remarkable, his achievements, and the problems he faced in life. We will also be discussing about the life lessons we can learn from Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs’s life was remarkable indeed. The legend was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco in a middle-class family. He was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. His biological parents, Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah John Jandali abandoned him. Abandoned, Chosen, Unique. Those concepts became a part of Steve Jobs. Even though he sometimes felt hurt, this made him very independent. His biological mother, Joanne made Clara and Paul promise to fund a savings account to pay for Steve’s education. Being abandoned caused a lot of pain to Steve but made him very independent. Some of his colleagues also said that this reflected on his behavior.
Steve jobs had a playful childhood. He was a turbulent child. He learnt how to read even before elementary school. Young Steve would get into all sorts of trouble. However, he was very smart from an early age. It was very clear, to his parents and teachers that he was unique. His school made a proposal for him to skip two grades. His parents did not want him to skip two grades so he skipped only one grade. His father, Paul Jobs was a mechanic. He would refurbish and resell used cars. Steve never really cared too much about mechanical things but he admitted that he was eager to hang out with his dad. Through cars, his father gave Steve his first exposure to electronics. His Father showed him the rudiments in electronics which got Steve very interested. Also, his neighbor Larry Lang who was an HP engineer brought him stuff to play with.
