I had to admit that I am not fascinated by Apple at first. I always had this feeling that asks, why do people love Apple product so much? What is so special about an iphone?? Even if I used to have an iphone 4, I ponder about these questions... Until I went into the cinema to watch "Jobs".
Steve was actually an adopted child of Paul and Clara Jobs. His biological father was of Syrian nationality while his biological mother is a Swiss-American. His biological mother wanted him to be adopted by a college graduate, and Steve was suppose to be adopted by a lawyer and his wife until he was born and they backed out, as they had claim that they wanted a girl instead. So his adoption doctor called up Paul and told him that they had an unexpected baby boy and asked him if he wanted it. He said yes, and named him Steve Jobs thereafter. His biological know this months later and refuse to sign the adoption paper as both Paul had never completed college and Clara never completed high school, until they promise to send Steve to a college.
Steve know he is adopted at a young age, and his behavior tuned around the idea of being adopted, being abandoned and being special. At 17 years of age, Steve went to college, and he chose to enroll in Reed College, an expensive college. He used up most of his parent's saving. He doesn't know what is his aim after college and how college could help him in his life, so he decided to drop out of college after 6 months. He still continue to attend classes that he liked and picked up some calligraphy along the way.
I found him fascinating. From his book and his story, he is a boy with his own thinking. He doesn't go with every one else, who believes attending college and getting a university degree is the path to life with financial freedom. He have his own dream, his own vision, his own ideals. He is able to make his dream come true, he is able to inspired people, and make people share his dreams and visions.
Even though he had passed away, his dreams and ideals never leave us.
Though I am just starting to read his book, I already learn so much from him. It makes me reflect back of my own life, and my surroundings.
The young Steve Jobs. Aren't him hot??? ;D
