“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me”. The titleholder of this quote is the man who was famous for his black turtleneck and blue jeans outfit. If it still doesn’t ring a bell to you, it is non-other than the prodigy, the late Steve Jobs. The miracle his technology performs has set people to awe. However MR. Jobs wasn’t only a man with intelligence, wealth or fame. Behind the man’s mischievous smile laid his fair share of struggles and a perplexed family circle.

He, who carried the world under his wings to the next level with his creation of artificial intelligence, was indifferent from other menfolk. MR. Jobs turned a father at the age of 23 with his high school girlfriend Chris Ann. Initially denying paternity over his daughter, Lisa Brenna, he was obligated to provide welfare as the court reached the verdict. However the paradox was, despite the fact of MR. Jobs himself being an adopted child who refused to speak to his biological father, neglected fatherhood over his own blood once. Nonetheless, few years later he accepted Lisa who is now a journalist and a writer.

Music heals the soul. It couldn’t have been any different for Mr. Jobs. Perhaps, that could be the reason why the diehard fan of The Beatles and Bob Dylan changed the way the world perceived music. In the past music consumption was a physical mechanism. One had to either purchase the albums or borrow it on a temporary basis. However, with gradual inventions of technologies the norms reformed. Even though Apple wasn’t the first to invent a portable player, it broke the barrier allowing people to indulge in music with its creation of iPod and its counterparts, allowing music to be listened and viewed at an instant go. The master plan behind all the devices was iTunes; software which legalizes online music downloads.

“One more thing…”was MR. Jobs’ famous phrase during his product launches to hook the audiences as a form of saving the best for the last. This genius has indeed saved his last message to heal the world. And that is organ donation. MR. Jobs was diagnosed from pancreatic cancer which affected his liver. Despite organ transplantation, his health condition didn’t seem to favour MR. Jobs. Nevertheless, the vegetarian used his prerogative to a good use by legislating applicants for a driver’s license in California to be inquired if they would like to be a volunteer of organ donation. His notion behind this agenda was clean; to aid people with illnesses who are playing the death game.

Mr. Jobs was a living attests of a human all rounder. No man is a monk or a sinner. As much as he was a demanding boss, he wasn’t a cold hearted soul. He made Apple contribute part of their profit to charity. Episodes of failures were common as the billionaire once quoted “I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food”.

The world might have bid farewell to the peter pan of technology on 5^th October 2011. His demise is certainly a huge loss for the world and Apple Company. Nonetheless the legend’s physical absence will never be overshadowed for his words of wisdom and inventions left behind for over a decade would consistently jog our memory.

So peeps, now that you have read the article, share with us your favorite moments of Mr. Jobs' inventions or something new that the world doesn't know.
