Steven Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco, California on February 24 1955. His biological parents, unwed college graduates Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah Jandali, had him adopted by a lower-middle-class couple from south of the Bay Area, Paul and Clara Jobs.

When Steve Jobs reached college age, he decided he would go to Reed College in Oregon. It was an expensive liberal arts college, way too pricey for his modest parents; but they had to keep their promise to Steve’s biological mother, and therefore paid for the tuition. Steve only stayed at Reed for one semester though, after which he dropped out. He then spent a lot of time learning about Eastern mysticism and adopted strange diets, fasting or eating only fruits: it was his hippie period. He even traveled to India with a friend to seek enlightenment at age 19.

Apple’s first year in business consisted of assembling the boards in Steve’s garage and driving to local computer stores to try and sell them.

I didn’t know Steven Jobs but when I looked for him in the web I found a video and I got amazed.

In the video the man is talking about his life and his growth.

I love his words. There’s a moment he says that when he was already a successful man he had to turn back to be a begginer to continue learning and growing. I think that’s the most important thing he did because you have to fight a lot to reach the top, but when you are there you have to be so much stronger to look back.
