Steve Jobs is considered by many to be one of the most inspiring people to ever walk the earth. Others considered him simply a lucky man who was part of a series of fortunate events. Let's take a closer look at the life of Steve Jobs and find out for ourselves. Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco. His parents, Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, could not afford to take care of him. They were deeply affected by poverty and were still attending college. They put Steve up for adoption. Steve was later adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Paul and Clara Jobs got married in an unusual way shortly after meeting (10 days). Throughout his life, Steve Jobs lived in Woodside, California. When Steve was six, a neighbor his age told him that his real parents had gotten rid of him because they didn't love him. Steve was very upset by this. When he told his mother, she told him he was wonderful and special just the way he was. This made Steve think he was different from others and gave him the inspiration to do something big that would change the world. As Steve was very interested in electronics, his father then introduced him to health kits. Health kits were small electronic instruction kits that would teach you how to make certain devices. Steve liked electronics but didn't like school. Steve's teacher saw his potential and bribed him to get good grades by paying him money from her own pocket. When Steve was a preteen, many things happened related to his success and destiny as an entrepreneur. When Steve was in 7th grade, he met an 18-year-old boy named Stephen Wozniak through a mutual friend. Everyone called him “Woz”, short for his last name “Wozniak”. Steve and Woz got along particularly well... middle of paper ... something we all try to do throughout our lives. Steve Jobs taught us that hard work, inspiration and motivation are all keys to success, not just education. RIP Steve JobsWorks Cited1. Fowler, Geoffrey. No. Internet. March 31, 2014. .2.
