Steven Paul Jobs, Apple Inc.founder, one of those responsible for products that not only revolutionized the technology industry, but also the entertainment market, announced on Wednesday (24) her departure from the executive board of the company.
Steve Jobs, known for his controversial polemical temperament, created a personal empire of more than $ 8 billion and raised thousands of fans. either on his business acumen, either for his controversial personality, he was born with an unique entrepreneurial spirit, because of it he will always be reminded for all of us.
Even if he's not on bussiness any more,his outstanding career will always be remembered with great affection.Certainly, in the journey of his life he did a lot of difference in this world and deserves to be applauded.
He is an example for us that circumstances cannot dictate our trajectory. Every human being has an inside hero and, certainly, Jobs knows his very well, because he exercised his interior power to make his own history.
In Wikipédia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs) we can find important informations about him, such as: "Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is an American business magnate and inventor. He is co-founder,[11] chairman, and former CEO of Apple Inc.[12][13] Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. He was credited in the 1995 movie Toy Story as an executive producer.[14]
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula,[11] and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface which led to the creation of the Macintosh.[15][16] After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1984,[17][18] Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. Apple's subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he served as its CEO from 1997 until 2011. In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50.1% until its acquisition by The Walt Disney company in 2006. Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7% and a member of Disney's Board of Directors.
Jobs' history in business has contributed much to the symbolic image of the idiosyncratic, individualistic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of design and understanding the crucial role aesthetics play in public appeal. His work driving forward the development of products that are both functional and elegant has earned him a devoted following.
On August 24, 2011, Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. In his letter of resignation, Jobs strongly recommended that the Apple executive succession plan be followed and Tim Cook be named as his successor. Per his request, Jobs was appointed chairman of Apple's board of directors".
Who could imagine a trajectory full of successes from a simple guy that did not even conclude high school?
This performance makes us understand the power we have within our mind and how far we can arrive: the mountaintop. The sky is the limit for those who have faith and believe that no matter what happens either whatever life has reserved for us, we can change the route and remake our own history.
Above all, we can see that this innovative and revolutionary spirit surely belongs to a great dreamer, because the positive changes in the world are made by people like Jobs, who has never given up their dreams.
For Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs our applause and compliments for his contribution for the world!
