Steve jobs is one of the most influential personality in American and world history who changed the face of the personal computer world and mobile phone industry. The path he travelled was not a bed of roses but thorns throughout. Even before he was born his biological mother tried to give him in adoption because of their poverty. Fortunately or unfortunately people who were trying to adopt wanted a girl child thus he was destined to live with his biological parents.

He had a hard time getting himself educated and dropped himself out of college because his parents were not able to pay his college expenses but he stuck to his dream and held on to what he was good at. He pursued his dream of working on calligraphy and went on to create the most sophisticated and iconic brand, Mac. He developed this in his father’s garage. In ten years time, he was able to take his company to a 10 billion turn over company. He was fired by the board and went on to create PIXAR and later joined with Apple again. He got cancer but overcame it. When he died he was the most loved and influential person in the technological world. He was also in the list of the richest people in the world overcoming all his odds.

I would like to see myself as a fortunate person because I was born in a well to do family. Normally, people who are born in poor family, strive hard to take their family to the next level. I would like to use all my abilities and skills to perform well by utilizing all the opportunities available for me in various walks of life.
