Blog Assignment 10 (Due: April 28, 11:59 pm): How are you inspired by Steve Job's life story?

                                                    Steve Paul Jobs
     That was such an excellent speech. It is really truly outstanding to hear the stories about how people got to where they are now. I feel inspired by listening to Steve Jobs talk about his life in the past and how he has turned into such a successful person. I like the fact that Jobs never gave up on what he loved. Even after dropping out of college, he still found a way to do what he loved; being around technology. The fact that at twenty years of age, Steve Jobs had the ability to create Apple in his parents garage is amazing. I also liked the fact that after 10 years as the CEO of Apple, the board fired Jobs. But he did not give up right there. He took the time to find his love of his life, start a new business, and become part of Pixar. The quote of this speech what really inspired me is "I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love." I wrote this quote on a sticky note and placed it on my desktop. So I will read it every morning when I wake up to go to class and work. I still believe the only reason Apple is so big now is because of Steve Jobs. The fact that he went back to Apple after being fired just shows he is fully committed to what he started. Steve Jobs even beat cancer! I'm glad that there was a cure for his cancer. It is going to be interesting in the future to see what Apple does with Jobs taking a leave of absence.
