 Kindly watch and review movie JOBS in Netflix. Silicon Valley genius Steve Jobs changes
the world but alienates the people around him as he rises from college dropout to the head of
Apple. Ashton Kutcher is the protagonist of the cast which also includes Dermot Mulroney,
Lukas Haas, and Matthew Modine.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes…
the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push
the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones
who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs, 1997

The main character in Jobs, Steve Paul Jobs, played by Ashton Kutcher, is a college dropout into one of the
most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20 th century. While living with his adoptive parents, Jobs is
working for “Atari”. He then develops a partnership with his friend “Steve Wozniak” when he sees that
Wozniak has a built personal computer. He come up with the idea to start their new company “Apple
Computer” and starts building Apple I Computers. The company failed so many times that they couldn’t
gain capital, Mike Markkula then invests in the company which allowed them to move forward. And soon
he became a very successful man that created a history in the field of technology and technopreneurship.

Do what you love to do. In any aspect in life, one must love what you do to excel. In the case of Steve Jobs,
after he found out what he and his friend (Steve Wozniak) wanted to do with their lives, they put their
passion and love in making the first ever personal computers that soon made them rich and famous.

Be different. In my opinion t is better to be different than to get used with the things that are already present.
We should think outside the box. There are still a lot of things, material, or non-material, which we still
have to discover.
