For many years, everybody knows or at least must have
heard this global phenomenal brand named Apple which has been touching the
lives of millions of people with its sparkling and groundbreaking technological
inventions. Yes! Iphones, Macbook, Itunes – these are the products and services
belong to that giant IT company which was originally founded by Steve Jobs
alongside his old pal back in his garage when they first opened their business
venture prior to becoming the owner of a public listed company worth 2 billion
US dollars, employing more than 4,000 workers across the globe. So, what exactly
made him extraordinary among the prominent business pioneers towards the end of
his life in 2011? Well, we will get down to it shortly in the next paragraph discussions.
First of all, Steve Jobs is Syrian-American-born on
February 24, 1955 in California, United States to the couple Abdulfatah Jandali
and Joanne Simpson. As a child, Jobs was adopted by Paul and Clara who later
became his foster parents and had his name changed from Abdul Latief Jandali to
Steven Paul until he had been known and widely recognized better by his famous
name Steve Jobs.
Like most other children in the early days of his
life, Jobs did not exhibit any extraordinary signs of talent. He attended
Junior High School and Homestead High School in California and following the
completion of his secondary education, he tied a knot to Laurene Powell in 1991
and shortly after that he decided to pursue his university degree at Reed
College in Portland, Oregon. During his time as a student, Jobs's critical
thoughts began to mold. He started to question and argue very frequently about whether the
knowledge he had been learning all those years were really needed for the success
of his future life. In short, within 6 months of troublous period, he firmly decided
to drop out from his college, yet, he still followed the course he was fond of
which was calligraphy.
Second of all, after leaving his campus in 1974, Jobs once
worked as a technician at a company that designs circuit boards. At this stage,
his passion for computer science was increasingly polished. Through his
personal experience with a computer during his incumbency as a circuit board
designer, he felt that this was the momentum where he truly discovered his life
passion.
Two years later after inventing his core interest in
1974, he then decided to invite his old pal Steve Wozniak to establish an IT
company together bearing with the bitten apple logo that we see today. Through his
Apple Company, he had always been driven to change the world. And after 10
years of hard work, his company Apple Inc. released its first flagship product
in the form of a computer called the Macintosh. Unfortunately, due to some
disputes of differences in his company’s vision, him as the founder of Apple Inc.
was forcibly sacked by his own company owing to his stubbornness and
temperamental behavior which were deemed unfavorable for the company's
organizational atmosphere.
However, the repercussion of being unfairly dismissed
by his own company did not discourage him at all to keep innovating. Instead,
he established another sole proprietorship and named it the “Next Company” that
created the operating system which Apple needed. Through this newly business
venture, he approached and requested Apple to acquire it. In sum, his effort to
persuade Apple turned out to be successful and this as a result served him automatically
to his former position as the CEO of Apple Inc.
Finally, following his return in 1997 as the Apple’s reappointed
CEO, he consistently made a big series of breakthrough innovations through the
launching of his groundbreaking product discoveries such as the iPod, iMac,
iPhone, iPad and iCloud which made Apple managed to reap a staggering level of
profitability in revenue. However, his unyielding entrepreneurial spirit sadly
must come to an end right after his doctor diagnosed him with a pancreatic cancer;
announcing that his condition would not sustain that long. Following this, he then
made a resolute decision to step down immediately from his prominent position
as the Apple’s big boss on August 24th 2011. Following this, Tim Cook was later appointed to replace him as the newly official CEO and shortly after two months, this man who was known for
his "extraordinary sense of
creativity, innovation, visionary goals" took his last breath and left
his entire legacy behind on October 5th 2011.
