3 Stories of Life Steve Job Experience the Very Inspiring

My Second Story: Love and Loss.

I was lucky, I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz (Steve Wozniak) and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20 years old. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us a $ 2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired.
How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, that's what happened. As Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me. In the first year or so things went well. However, then came the difference in our visions of the future and we had a falling out. Commissioner apparently sided with him. So at 30 I was out.
The story was everywhere. What is the focus of my entire adult life, suddenly vanished. It hurts. Within a few months later, I do not know what I should do. I felt he had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs much I failed to take a chance. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and apologized for my slump. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from Silicon Valley.
But something slowly began to dawn on me still loved what I did. What happened at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I still love. So, I decided to start again from scratch. At that time I did not see it, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me of the most creative periods of my life.
In the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. Through an amazing series of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family. I'm sure none of this would have happened if I had not been fired from Apple.
Was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life imposes rock at your head. Do not lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You have to find what you love. That goes both for work and asangan your life. Your work is going to spend most of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do something great. And you can only do great work is what you like. If you have not found it, keep looking. Do not give up. Heart, you'll know when you find it. As with any great relationship, the longer-more intimate you are with him. So keep looking until you find it. Do not stop.
