He was born out of wedlock—to an interracial couple. He was put up for adoption. He dropped out of college after only six months. He was fired from the company he founded. And yet he changed the world. Though he died on October 5, 2011, he still lives in the lives of millions around the world. His name? Steve Jobs—the charismatic pioneer and innovative co-founder of Apple Computers[1].
The Three Apples
It is said there were three apples that changed the world—Eve's, Newton's, and now Jobs's. Of these, we’re more familiar with the last one. The very name of his company, Apple — with its rounded, apple fruit logo—seemed to say you cannot resist taking a bite.
Steve was only 21 when he started Apple--officially formed on April Fool's Day, 1976. He was forced out in 1985 but returned 15 years later and rescued Apple from near-bankruptcy. Two months before his death, in August of 2011, he had turned the company into the most valuable company in the world[2].
