spiritual enlightenment giving up the job. Marking a bright turning point in his life

Jobs family garage. Steve sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved
scientific calculator proving the highest level of enthusiasm and commitment they
had towards their new business. As time passed by Apple products such as Apple I
and Apple II hit the tech world and the company was publicly traded in 1980
declaring Steve Jobs as its CEO. However by 1985 Steve split off from Apple due to
administrative problems and put up the company NeXT Inc. Later NeXT took over

sons and daughter. Steve is said to be one of the toughest bosses in the industry
which made him reach the peak of business success. He was a Zen Buddhist and
his designs were influenced by its teachings. At the time of his death Steve had 342
US patents for his name majority being design patents. Although Jobs was not much

and in 2009 as the CEO of the decade by the Forbes magazine along with many
other distinctions by various parties. It was disclosed that Steve was suffering from
a very rare neuroendocryne cancer in the year of 2003. The health condition of him
was severely deteriorating that he had to give up his post as the Apple CEO this
