"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things." I love to read and motivate myself with various quotes, but there is always my favorite quotes of " STEVE JOBS ".Which brings me a spark of energy and motto to work on my goals.

Charismatic attitude, passionate demeanor, risk-taking temperament, and non-traditional conducts define Steve Jobs' personality who lived from 24 February 1955 to 5 October 2011. His work has often exhibited his fidelity towards his work.

Here is one of my Goodreads from (https://www.scoopwhoop.com/steve-jobs-success-story/)

FOCUS is about saying "NO"!

From a very young age, Steve Jobs found himself mesmerized by the power and intricacy of computers.

He used to work with his mechanic father in the family garage, taking apart cars and putting them back together. This kick-started his love for machines. He credits his father for teaching him how to pay

attention to detail, a mantra that sets Apple apart from most competitors.

As he grew up, Jobs developed a strong distaste for formal education.

He never really enjoyed school.

Eventually, he went to college but dropped out after the first semester. But he continued attending the classes that interested him. One of them was calligraphy.

He later said of the course:

"If I had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts."

Jobs was worth $1 million when he was 23, $10 million at 24 and crossed $100 million by the time he was 25.He was the one of the youngest people to be featured on the Forbes list of the country’s richest people; a big feat without inheriting any family wealth.

But then mayhem made its way into Jobs’ life.

His on-and-off lover, Chrisann Brennan, became pregnant with his child. Jobs shunned responsibility and claimed he was sterile even though a DNA test proved he was the father. The matter became a legal controversy.

Steve Jobs with Lisa

A daughter was born and named Lisa. Surprisingly, Jobs named his new breakthrough personal computer Lisa as well-timed Magazine interviewed Jobs for its ‘Time Person Of The Year’ special but when the issue came out, it was revealed that instead of featuring Jobs, the magazine had named the computer the ‘Machine of the Year’. Jobs never trusted journalists again.

Then came the biggest setback of Jobs’ career.

After an internal discussion, he was fired from the Macintosh group. The decision was made after Pepsi Executive John Sculley encouraged the board to do so. Ironically, Jobs had recently hired Sculley.

Despite the shocking betrayal, Jobs didn’t give up.

He went on to establishing his new company, NeXT, but couldn’t boost sales due to the high prices of the machines. Later, NeXT would merge with Apple to give us the iOS we have today.

But Jobs wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to build a bigger empire.

So, he invested in a startup called Graphics Group, now known as Pixar. He initially put in his millions and the company’s instant success after the release of Toy Story paid back Jobs and how. He remained a majority shareholder in Pixar. Everything was well. But suddenly, Jobs' life shattered completely. He was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.

After a few years, when Jobs could no longer function normally, he resigned from Apple, writing:

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.”

He passed away calmly, surrounded by family. His last words were “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow. He went into a coma right after that.

The revolutionary visionary gave us quite the awe-inspiring legacy that will be taken into account by the future of technology around the world.

Looking back at his incredible journey, all I can do is repeat Steve Jobs’ final words, “Oh wow.”
