"I'm not interested in being the richest man in the graveyard...going to bed at night knowing we've done something wonderful...that's what interests me." (Steven Jobs)
In my opinion this is what most of entrepreneur should ask to themselves to manage their business. Ethics come before money. Let's read the story of a great men. A men that developed his business without losing his heart.
Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955)
is an American businessman, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Apple
Inc. Jobs is the former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios.
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, build the first commercially successful Personal Computers. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface.
After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. NeXT's subsequent 1997 buyout by Apple Computer Inc. brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he served as its CEO since then. Steve Jobs was listed as Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Businessman of 2007.
In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006. Jobs is currently the Walt Disney Company's largest individual shareholder and a member of its Board of Directors. He is considered a leading figure in both the computer and entertainment industries.
Jobs' history in business has contributed greatly to the myths of the idiosyncratic, individualistic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of design and understanding the crucial role aesthetics play in public appeal. His work driving forward the development of products that are both functional and elegant has earned him a devoted following.
"Today we're going to do a piece of history" (referring to the imminent presentation of the iPhone).
Jobs is currently on a leave of absence from Apple due to health issues.
Childhood and education
Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by Paul and Clara. They had a daughter, Patty. His biological parents, Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, a graduate student from Syria who became a political science professor, later married and gave birth to Jobs' sister, the novelist Mona Simpson. Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High School and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California and frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California. He was soon hired there and worked with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee...what we call a "summer internship" today. In 1972, Jobs graduated from high school and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester, he continued auditing classes at Reed, such as one in calligraphy. "If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts", he said. In autumn of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Wozniak. He took a job as a technician at Atari, a manufacturer of popular video games, with the primary intent of saving money for a spiritual retreat to India. Jobs then traveled to India with a Reed College friend in search of the spiritual enlightenment. He came back as a Buddhist with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. During this time, Jobs experimented with psychedelics, calling his LSD experiences "one of the two or three most important things (he had) done in (his) life". He has stated that people around him who did not share his counter cultural roots could not fully relate to his thinking.
