When Elliot assigned Steve Jobs as the man to be discussed for my first niki page, I was more than exhilarated. What more can I ask for than the genius who created Apple. All these while,  this man has been respect and recognised for his work and brains behind these amazing products. But do we really know more than what the media has presented? So I went ahead and started with my research…

As I started researching, I walked through with Steve Jobs life story and decided that it is sharing worthy. Steve Jobs biological mother was an unwed single graduate student when she gave birth to him. He was put up for adoption soon after, as his mother wanted a better future for her soon. Unfortunately, the candidates, Paul and Clara Jobs, did not meet her expectations: they were a lower-middle class couple that had settled in the Bay Area after the war. Paul was a machinist from the Midwest who had not even graduated from high school. In the end, Joanne agreed to have her baby adopted by them, under the firm condition that they later send him to college.
What I learnt most from this man is despite his unfortunate backgrounds, with the help of his parents and himself. He became one of the richest guy in the world. Knowledge is indeed power. But it is all up to you to decide whether you want to break your fate and become a better person.
