Conclusion

Steve Jobs has and is still touching the lives of people all around the world today. His story is amazing to read because despite all of the hardships he faced, he did what he said he was going to do: become a millionaire. He had a dream and he wouldn’t stop until it was lived out. To summarize his life, one could say he was adopted at birth and the disappointment of his parents giving him up followed him for the rest of his life. He dropped out of college after 6 months and he and a friend named Stephen Wozniak created the first Apple computer in a garage. Apple blossomed into what is now known as one of the world’s greatest mule-national corporations. Jobs was later fired from the company that he had founded and went away for awhile to help turn a company named Pixar into a billion dollar corporation and found a new company he called NeXT. When Apple started to struggle, he went back and took the company to the top again, for the second time. One of the main focuses of his life was his bitter personality and his work ethic. However, he always got the job done and most of his hot headedness all was linked to his insecurities from his birth parents giving him up for adoption as a small child. There was a reason Steve was the way he was but throughout his life, he learned things the hard way and eventually turned his life around when he surrounded himself with the right kind of people. Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 due to pancreatic cancer.
