Meet Steve Jobs: The Rebel Who Made Tech Human

Imagine a college dropout with a knack for Zen, a love for calligraphy, and a stubborn belief that computers shouldn’t look like science projects. That was Steve Jobs—the visionary who turned garages into empires and “Think Different” into a way of life.

Born in San Francisco (1955) but raised in the heart of what would become Silicon Valley, Jobs was adopted by a machinist father and an accountant mother. Early on, he tinkered with electronics but also dabbled in poetry, Eastern spirituality, and (briefly) college at Reed—before dropping out to backpack through India in search of enlightenment. His return to California in 1974 wasn’t just a homecoming; it was the spark for a revolution.

Reuniting with his high-school buddy Steve Wozniak, Jobs saw what others missed: computers weren’t just for engineers—they could be beautiful, intuitive, and for everyone. Together, they’d soon build Apple in a garage, turning circuits into culture and changing the world—one sleek device at a time.

Fun fact? His trip to India didn’t just shape his philosophy—it inspired Apple’s first logo (a nod to Newton… and maybe a little karma).

I believe he is one of the most famous businessman who didn’t find his success through nepotism.
