![]() Steve was an adopted child, Steve spent only one semester at College, then dropped out and was hired at the young video game maker Atari. The origin of apple happened when steve started assembling boards of Apple I computers in the Jobses' garage, and selling them to independent computer dealers in the area. The company quickly became an American success story. Because of its beautiful package, ease of use, and nifty features, the Apple II crushed most of its competition and its sales made the Apple founders millionaires. From an adopted child, to a millionaire, Steve's journey was a struggle. But his perseverance reached him to the peak.

I, the blogger of 'Role model' am a huge believer in turning points in life, as in I believe that if you follow you're passion no matter what, you can achieve your goals. I myself had such turning points in life where i felt like i couldn't couldn't hold up for long and that I am going to give up. But I've buckled up and haven't given up at each time. I followed my A/ls in bio stream and had huge hopes for my exams. But i couldn't pull that off even though i thought i put my 100% in to studies. I was heart broken at first but as i said before i buckled up and followed my passion. Now i am following a business management degree and am very happy doing so. Likewise no matter how minor they seem to others we have our own turning points in life and when we reminisce them we realize how they've made us stronger... I invite all the followers of 'LIFEGEZER' to share their own life's turning points. Tell us what makes you be proud about yourself. Tell us how life had surprised you |
