THE STEVE JOBS NOBODY KNEW BY JEFF GOODELL





      Apple computer inventor, Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. Together with Steve Wozniak, a brilliant computer engineer, they succeed to make the market grow drastically. My first thought of Jobs is he maybe a very discipline person who takes care all the things well organizes in his life. We never knew until Jeff Goodell gives an inside look of him. Well, he succeeds with his professional life, but he fail with his personal life. Being a person with a strong personality and ignoring the other employees, he seems to be abrasive. Jobs are really working hard to invent something that can change people’s life. John Perry Barlow, a digital pioneer, a friend of Jobs mentions ‘Steve created a lot of hardware, but over the years he also invented himself’. I think he means that Jobs character had change a lot. On the other side, it means that Jobs created his own new character to make sure that he can be a good quality inventor. 


 
By years, he keep getting a rewards form his achievement and keep inventing a new high technology item that can give ‘power’ to people but ignoring his own surrounding. He ignores his daughter and refuses to be responsible for his action. Then he is blaming other people so he can run from the responsibility. In other words, he doesn’t care about it at all. His attention is only focuses on what other kind of technology that can boost people’s imagination. He is a very detailed person and requires perfection in his works, he did a very good job in that. I can see from the article that Jobs think differently from everyone which he does not believe that the consumer was right. As expected from people who have a strong personality, he refuses to hear what others say. Sometimes, being harsh or strict is allowed, but we have to think about the situation and other people’s thought about something or about us. It can improve ourselves and help us to balance our personal and professional life.
