Summer Reading Book

                 In the book, "Steve Jobs The man Who Though Different", By Karen Blumenthal, the author explains Jobs life's. This book is an inspiration to our generation because it has a lot of lessons and messages to teach. Jobs was an important man in the technology world. He was one of the founders of the company Apple. One of the most important lessons in this book is that if you fail to accomplish something don't think that you're worthless.
            One of the reasons why this lesson plays a big role in Jobs life's is because Jobs dropped out of college in December of 1972. Just after only completing one semester at Reed College. This made him feel a little bit worthless because before he dropped out of college he started to act differently. He walked around Reed College Campus without shoes even when it was really cold or when it was snowing. Even after he decided to drop out of college he was still allowed to attend any class. A class that he decided to take was calligraphy. Calligraphy is a variety of ancient alphabets and the art of beautiful writing. Calligraphy has many techniques and a lot of creativity. In February of 1974 Jobs moves back home and got a job at Atari. Atari was a company that created video games. One of their first games that was created was Pong. This was Jobs favorite arcade game. After working at Atari, he decided it was time to work on his dream. To create a computer.
            Another reason why this lesson plays a big role in Jobs life's is because even though he was kicked out of the company he founded on May 31, 1985. Even though he was kicked out he didn't give up his dream he decided to start a new company. He founded the computer company NeXT.  Even though he didn't sell that many computers and he his company wasn't worth that much he still kept going. He also bought Pixar from George Lucas. He decided to make movies. He even made a deal with Disney to make 3 movies for them using his computers and programs.
            In Conclusion, even though Jobs dropped out of college and was kicked out of the company he founded he didn't stop dreaming. He even agreed to let Apple buy his company, so that he can return back to Apple on December 20, 1996. Even though he was out of Apple for 10 years he continue to make a change in the world. He is an inspiration to others who have failed to accomplish a goal or a dream. He improved the technology world by making more modern computers and improving some programs. This is why the most important lesson in this book is that even if you fail to accomplish something in life don't think that you're worthless or just can't do anything right. We're all unique and different so we're the only ones that can make decisions for us.
