Steve Jobs

I think Steve Jobs is 'book worthy". The book Bu$ine$$ Leader$ is all about Steve Jobs. You get everything from when and how he started to making computers. You get how he started a family, and when he career wasn't looking so good what else he did.

In the beginning of the book it tells you that he started of selling and making computers in his garage with a friend. It tells you when he was still young , late teens early 20's, that him and his girlfriend had a daughter. But Steve denied the fact that the child was his. Also by 1980, his company Apple made $100 million.

Towards the end of the middle and the beginning of the end, you read that Steve Jobs got let go from his won company. Something he wouldn't have thought would happen to him in a million years. After we was released from CEO, he went home and was depressed for a couple of days. But knowing Steve Jobs, he was right back and made another company of his own called NeXT. The company started out good and made computers that nobody have seen before.  By this time in his career, he has another girlfriend, and shes pregnant. They soon become married and start a family. This time he won't deny this child. NeXT hits its ups and downs like Apple did.

As Steve begins to go deep into his career, he starts working with Pixar. They begin making computer movies and regular movies you can see in the movie theater but they're animated. After all this, Steve is called back into Apple. He is offered his spot back at CEO numerous of times but denied them with respect. Later on he takes the spot of the CEO but only will take $1 as his salary. At this point in his life he has made over billions of dollars. But when it's all said and done, the thing he care about most is his family. He goes to catch up on lost times with the daughter he once denied.

Excitement

I feel real good about this book. I do want to keep me reading it. You wouldn't expect how much determination and hard work Steve Jobs has. I enjoyed the part where we was fired from his own company. He was depressed for a little bit. But then he couldn't just sit around and do nothing. So he started another company call NeXT. He made a come back to his company and after be let go in 20 decades. I can relate to him in someways. Not in the way of his success but in a way of his determination.

What I think

I enjoy this book so far. I learn things from Steve Jobs already. He had and still has a lot of determination towards his work. It it very interesting becuase I am wondering on what he'll do next to expand his ideas and work. I can relate to Steve. He has determine and his ideas of his own. He has a dream and is following that dream. He knows that his hard work he put in now will pay off for him in the future. It helps that it is a real person the fiction. You know where hard work can get you if you keeping working at it.
