3. Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in the city of San
Francisco. His biological mother was either an unwed
graduate student named Joanne Simpson, and his biological
father was a political science or mathematics professor, a
native Syrian named Abdulfattah John Jandali. Being born
out of wedlock in the puritan America of the 1950s, the baby
was put up for adoption. Joanne had a college education, and
she insisted that the future parents of her boy be just as well
educated. Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs,
did not meet her expectations: they were a lower-middle class
couple that had settled in the Bay Area after the war. Paul
was a machinist from the Midwest who had not even
graduated from high school. In the end, Joanne agreed to have
her baby adopted by them, under the firm condition that they
later send him to college.Paul and Clara called their son
Steven Paul. While Steve was still a toddler, the couple moved
to the Santa Clara county, later to be known as Silicon Valley.
They adopted another baby, a girl called Patti, three years
later in 1958.

4. Steve was quite a turbulent child. He really didn‘t care about
school for some time — until he reached the 4th grade, and
had Imogene ―Teddy‖ Hill as a teacher.
She was one of the saints of my life. She taught an advanced
fourth grade class, and it took her about a month to get hip to
my situation. She bribed me into learning.
She did bribe him, with candy and $5 bills from her own
money. He quickly became hooked — so much so that he
skipped the 5th grade and went straight to middle school,
namely Crittenden Middle School. It was in a poor area. Most
kids did not work much there, they were rather fond of
bullying other kids, such as the young Steve.
One day he came home and declared that if he wasn‘t
transferred to another school, he would stop going to school
altogether. He was 11. Paul and Clara complied, and the Jobses
moved to the cozier city of Los Altos, so that Steve could go to
Cupertino Junior High. This proved to be decisive for Steve‘s
future.

5. Palo Alto home
Address
2101 Waverley Street,Palo Alto, CA 94301.
Steve bought his Palo Alto home in the mid-1990s, after his
marriage with Laurene Powell. The house is the British
country style, it fits beautifully with the rest of this quiet
neighborhood — and certainly does not stand out as the house
of a high-tech/media mogul. From people who have seen it, the
house is lightly furnished, but much more so than Steve's bare
Woodside mansion during his bachelor days. Steve lived in
this house for twenty years, and died there on October 5, 2011,
surrounded by his family.

6. Private jet
Steve Jobs's private jet was offered to him by the Apple board
when he officially became the company's CEO, in January
2000. It is a Gulfstream V Jet, worth over $40 million (total
cost for Apple: $88 million). The 2009 SEC investigation
revealed that "He brought up the idea: 'What I really need is a
plane where I can take my family to Hawaii on vacation, go
to the East Coast.' and the board agreed". Larry Ellison
supposedly declared, "With what he's done, we ought to give
him five airplanes!"
Steve reportedly worked hard on customizing his airplane, for
over a year. According to Isaacson's biography, he used
Ellison's plane as a starting point and made a number of
improvements, such as changing the polished stainless steel of
the buttons to replace them with brushed metal ones. "I look at
his airplane and mine, and everything he changed was
better," said Ellison in the book.

7. 5 Keys To Success From Steve Jobs
“Your time is limited. Don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living
the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drowned your own inner voice. And,
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you
truly want to become.”
You’re Running Out of Time – Use It Wisely
Steve Jobs channels Buddhist monks from all over the world
for this piece of advice. We barely ever really think about how
little time we have on this planet. That within a blink of an
eye everything could be gone.The Buddha recognized this fact
and used it as one of his motivations for enlightenment.Don‘t
wait for tomorrow because tomorrow may never come.Start
right now, in this instance, to work on your success.Dreaming
of it. Crafting it. Creating it.Don‘t wait for the kids to go off to
college, the stars to align, or until everything is just right.

8. Don’t Live Someone Else’s Life
If you truly buy into Steve‘s first key to success. Or you‘ve
recently had tea with the Dalai Lama and he swayed you to
the dark side of realizing that we all have a fixed amount of
time, then why would you waste it living someone else‘s
life.You‘ve got dreams of your own. They may have been
beaten into silence, but you know they‘re still there. Waiting
patiently for you to remember them. To nurture them. And
have the courage to share them with the world.
Break Free From Dogma
According to wikipedia: ―Dogma is the established belief or
doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of
organization: it is authoritative and not to be disputed.‖
I don‘t mean to come back to Buddha, but he had this to say
about Dogma, ―Believe nothing, no matter where you read it,
or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with
your own reason and your own common sense.‖
Is Steve Jobs Buddhist?
He seems to be really channeling him so far.
Have the courage to be yourself.
What are your dreams?
What do you want?
What make YOU happy?
Dive deep into the mystery and miracle of who you are.
There‘s never going to be another person like you on the face
of this planet. EVER.

9. Ignore Other People’s Opinions
Abraham Maslow said that the happiest people are the ones
that are, ―Oblivious of the good opinions of others.‖
Now I don‘t think Mr. Jobs is saying to steer clear of wise
council. It‘s good to have other people perspective on things.
And I‘m sure that apple has a lot of geniuses, clairvoyants
and witch doctors to help Mr. Jobs divine the future.
But there‘s a lot of people out there who will tell you that it
can‘t be done. Or you‘re not the right person for the job. Or
some other form of baloney.Thank them for their concern and
keep pressing on with your dreams.Listen and ask for the
opinions of people who have more experience than you. But
keep far away from dream stealer‘s.
Para college of business Administration copyright c

10. Follow Your Heart
So often we choose to ignore the ―still small voice within.‖ We
get that gut feeling. We know something is up.
We hear our dreams calling out to us but for whatever reason
we suppress them, ignore them, and shove them down deep
inside.
Maybe we‘re trying to keep up with Jones‘. Maybe we buy
into the ―get a good job, keep your head down, and work hard‖
story they sell us in school.
Whatever the reason the truth is when we stuff those dreams
away and lock them deep within our hearts we suffer.
Silently we ache. An agony most of us take quietly to our
graves.
The only cure is to dream again. To follow our hearts. To go
where life is calling you. To run through fields of wide open
possibility.
A quote I love and have adapted slightly from Frederick
Buechner is, ―Success is found through marrying the worlds
deep hunger with your hearts deep gladness.‖
It‘s no wonder that Steve Jobs has been successful.
So what do you want to be successful at?

11. "Being the richest man in the cometary doesn't matter to me,
going to bed at night saying we have done something
wonderful,that's what matter to me"
"For the past 33 years,I have looked in the mirror every
morning and asked myself,"If today were the last day of my
life,would i want to do what i am about to do today and
whenever the answer has been no for many days in a row i
know i need to change something"
"Your time is, so don't waste it living someone Else's
life.don't be trapped by dogma.which is living with the result
of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of others opinion
drown out your inner voice and most important have the
courage to follow your heart and intuition"
"Your work is going to fill a target part of your life and
the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is
great work and the only way to do great work is to love what
you do.If you haven't find yet keep looking.Don't settle.as all
with matters of the heart,you will know when you find it."
Jobs and Apple
Para college of business Administration copyright c

12. At 20, he and a friend (Steve Wozniak) started a company in
a garage on April 1, 1976. Later that year, the duo debuted the
Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto,
California. A local store offered to buy 50 machines and to
finance the production, the duo had to sell their most
expensive possesions. Jobs sold his Volkswagen van while
Wozniak sold his Hewlett-Packard scientific calculator.
Jobs named their company – Apple in memory of a happy
summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon.
By 1982 however, his company sales sagged in the face of
competition from IBM‘s new PC. Jobs and Wozniak unveiled
their new creation, Lisa to increase the company‘s bottom line,
only to be another expensive failure.
Not wanting to dwell on these successive failures, they worked
on a new machine called the Macintosh. Jobs was reported to
commandeered the project, ruthlessly pushing its computer
engineers and flying a pirate flag above the building where
the team worked.
By 1986 the Mac, which Jobs promised to be ‗insanely great‘•
was a huge success. After 10 years, starting from 2 kids
working in a garage, Apple computer had grown into a $2
billion dollar company with over 4000 employees.
At 30 Jobs, however, was fired from the company he co-
founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing
a bitter battle over control with Apple‘s CEO John Sculley
(whom Jobs had recruited from Pepsi Cola).
Steve Jobs’ Contributions to the World
Para college of business Administration copyright c

13. Steve Jobs was one of the greatest technological minds of our
time and progressed, not only the U.S., but the entire world
further than anyone could ever have imagined. Co-Founder
and former CEO of Apple Corp., he will always remain a huge
part of History. He passed away from pancreatic cancer at
the age of 56 but his legacy will live on through his inventions.
Jobs's revival and leadership of Apple will go down as one of
the great examples of individual corporate leadership of the
20th (and likely the 21st century). The heroic tale of a single
creative mind rescuing a brand, creating thousands of jobs,
and bestowing wealth on employees in the midst of a
turbulent era is an irresistible one.
Ask several people to name what they think Steve Jobs‘ biggest
contribution has been, and you will get a variety of responses.
Sure, he has brought us some amazing innovations, and
millions of us own (or want to own) them. There‘s the iPod, the
iPad, and the i-everything else!
But when you get down to it, it really wasn‘t Jobs who did it
alone—it was his team. But Steve did do one thing that started
a positive trend that will last for decades or longer. And that
contribution is so big, so important, that by some divine
guidance it was inserted into his name. Steve created jobs.
And lots of them.
Pancreatic Cancer
Para college of business Administration copyright c

14. In 2003, Jobs discovered that he had a neuroendocrine tumor,
a rare but operable form of pancreatic cancer. Instead of
immediately opting for surgery, Jobs chose to alter his
pescovegetarian diet while weighing Eastern treatment
options. For nine months Jobs postponed surgery, making
Apple's board of directors nervous. Executives feared that
shareholders would pull their stocks if word got out that their
CEO was ill. But in the end, Jobs's confidentiality took
precedence over shareholder disclosure. In 2004, he had a
successful surgery to remove the pancreatic tumor. True to
form, in subsequent years, Jobs disclosed little about his health.
Personal Life
Early in 2009, reports circulated about Jobs's weight loss, some
predicting his health issues had returned, which included a
liver transplant. Jobs had responded to these concerns by
stating he was dealing with a hormone imbalance. After
nearly a year out of the spotlight, Steve Jobs delivered a
keynote address at an invite-only Apple event September 9,
2009.
In respect to his personal life, Steve Jobs remained a private
man who rarely discloses information about his family. What
is known is Jobs fathered a daughter with girlfriend Chrisann
Brennan when he was 23. Jobs denied paternity of his
daughter Lisa in court documents, claiming he was sterile.
Jobs did not initiate a relationship with his daughter until she
was 7 but, when she was a teenager, she came to live with her
father.
