The success story of Steve Jobs – The person who turned Apple into a billion-dollar brand
Friends, in 2007 Apple launched its first iPhone. in which the entire smartphone industry was changed. and the person to whom the greatest credit is given for this. his name is “Steve jobs” today we remember Steve jobs as a tremendous entrepreneur, business leader and modernist genius. but perhaps this quality of his also became the reason for his death at such a young age, and i will tell you how all this happened.
Friends Steve jobs was born on 24 February 1955 in San Francisco, (USA). and you will be surprised to know that at the time of his birth, his name “Abdul Latif Jandali” was actually his father’s name “Abdulfattah Jandali” who was from Syria. while his mother was “Joanne Schieble” who was a German woman. the met while studying at the University of Wisconsin. after which both of them started liking each other. and before marriage, Steve job’s mother became pregnant. they both wanted to get rid of the unwanted child, and so they took the decision to have an abortion, but abortion was illegal inside the America at the time. and that’s why they couldn’t do it even they wanted to. in such a situation, both of them tried that by giving birth of their own. they would give it to a good family for adoption. thus Steve jobs was born as an unwanted child. shortly after birth , San Francisco was given to “Paul jobs” and his wife “Clara jobs”. shortly after this, Steve job’s Biological parents Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne Schieble married each other and gave birth to a daughter, “Mona Simpson”, the sister of Steve jobs. which is the famous Nobelist of America.
Both Steve and Mona were always close to each other, but Steve jobs never wanted to have any relationship with his biological parents. in 1959, Steve’s family left San Francisco and moved to Mountain View, California. with the changing technology at that time, Mountain view was becoming the center of electronics. and maybe that’s why Steve jobs was interested in electronics since childhood. but the problem with Steve jobs was that, he did not feel like studying at all, as well as other students of the school used to harass him a lot. however, after some time Steve’s parents shifted to Los Altos. and because of this school also changed.
A new friend of Steve’s in this school made him meet a boy named “Stephen Wozniak”. he had passed out from school a few years back. in fact, like Steve, Wozniak also loved electronics very much. and because of this, a deep friendship developed between both. friends, here for your information, let mw tell you that Steve went ahead and started the Apple company only with his friend Wozniak. well if we talk about Steve ‘s school life, he also did an internship in HP company for some time during his studies, but after completion of high school he failed to get campus job. after this he took admission in ORAGN’s REED college. but after one semester, he dropped out of this college without informing his parents. in fact, he used to find many of the college was also very expensive. paying the fee for which became very difficult for his parents. and in such a situation, he thought it better to leave the college, although even after dropping out from the college, he lived near the campus and whatever class he found interesting, he would attend it, during this time he also took a calligraphy class, where he learned the art of writing the English word beautifully and this art was later used to create different types of typography inside the computer. i came to work. this was the time in the life Steve jobs. when they slept on the floor of their friend’s hostel room. he used to recycle bottle of Coca-Cola to make arrangements for money and food as well as eat free food every Sunday at the Hare Krishna temple near the campus.
Once Steve’s friend Wozniak came to him with a hacking device called Bluebox. Through which people could cut unlimited international calls for free. By now Steve was already crazy about electronics. So he teamed up with Wozniak to build his own Bluebox device within a few days and started selling them. However, this advantage was also achieved in making this device. His confidence in electronics also increased. And later on this self-belief came in handy in establishing Apple. However, before founding Apple, Steve also worked in the US video game company ATARI. Where those technician jobs were given in the year 1974. And at the same time his dream of visiting India was also fulfilled due to ATARI company. In fact, Steve Jobs was sent to Germany on a trip from ATARI, so he requested to get one-way ticket to Germany and give the refund ticket money in cash. The company ignored him, after which Steve Jobs settled his work in Germany and came to India instead of returning to America with the help of the remaining money. Actually Steve Jobs wanted to come to India and find his inner sales with the help of Spirituality. That’s why after coming to India, he got completely immersed in the culture here. While living here, he always wore loose-fitting clothes and often walked barefoot like the people of the village.
This habit of walking barefoot has always been with Steve Jobs as he was often seen barefoot in his office. This trip to India proved to be life changing for Steve Jobs. Because by living in India, he came to know this thing that the intuition of a human being, his intellect is more powerful than that understanding. And the powerful intuition from India that he returned to America with him, he, along with Stefan Wozniak and Ronald Vince, had induced him to start the Apple company in 1976, and friends, he himself has said this in one of his interviews. Initially, the garage of Steve’s house used to be the headquarters of his company. And in such a garage, he built Apple’s first computer, the Apple 1. This computer was completely different from today’s modern computer, where it had neither a keyboard, nor a screen. It was like a kit in the true sense. Which people could customize in any way they like. At that time, Wozniak used to see all the attention of technology. Whereas Steve Jobs was always looking for investors for the company over the telephone. After this, after Apple 1, the next year he landed the Apple 2 in the market, which looked like a personal computer in the true sense. In no time, Apple became the epitome of 2 personal computer revolution. Due to which Apple’s sales reached the figure of $ 118 million in three years, but in a way where Apple 2 was very successful, some of the company’s products also spread badly.
In which the name of Apple 3 and Lisa Computer was also included. And something similar happened with the Apple Macintosh launched in 1984. Which did not live up to its expectation pat at all. And it was Steve Jobs was In charge of the Apple Macintosh division. Therefore, he was held entirely responsible for this failure. Even the board members and directors of the company had shown the way out by removing them from all their posts. This was a very difficult time in life for Steve Jobs, but he also faced it like a champion. Actually, after giving design from Apple, he started his own software company named NEXT and also became chairman or CEO of PIXAR company by purchasing majority share. Here for your information, let me tell you that PIXAR is the same company. In this, during the tenure of Steve Jobs, the world’s first feature length 3D animation film “Toy Story” was made in the year 1995, thus Steve Jobs continued to touch the heights of success even after leaving Apple. But in his absence, the condition of the Apple company went from bad to worse. Even in 1997, this company had reached the verge of bankruptcy. And finally, to save the car company, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and was made the CEO of Apple. This time Steve also brought with him the NEXT company operation system “X”. And then only later OS became known from MacOS.
With the help of this new operating system, Steve saved Apple from drowning, and after that he did such lotus one after the other. Who changed the world of technology itself. In fact, in the year 2001, the iPod was launched, which not only changed the way people listen to music, but also changed the entire music industry. After this, in the year 2007, he brought “I Phone” to the world. Which is still considered as the most successful launch in history. Because iPhone changed the entire game of the smartphone industry overnight. Friends, this was just the beginning. After which Steve had to go much further. But now his health had started leaving him. Actually Steve Jobs’s health problem started only in 2003. Because once when A CT scan was done for a stone in his kidney. Then the doctor found out that he had not only kidney stones, but also neuroendocrine cancer, which is a type of rare pancreatic cancer. Steve has been responsible for his condition schedule. Actually Steve had handled both PIXAR and Apple company for a very long time, due to which he used to leave home at 7 in the morning and return to his address around 10 in the night. He was also very careless about his health. He even kept postponing his pancreatic cancer surgery for 9 months.
But later when his health deteriorated. Then he regretted it. But even after fighting for many years, he could not defeat this deadly disease. Due to which he died on 5 October 2011 at the age of 56 at around 3 pm.
