“Before, only those who were loyal to their Apple Computer PCs were aware of whom Steve Jobs was.
Nowadays, nearly everybody knows him thanks to that phenomenon called the iPod.
Steve Jobs and Apple Computer have had a love-hate relationship even ending at one time with Jobs being booted from the firm only to return in 1996 and completely turn the company around and back to profitability.
This achievement definitely merits Steve Jobs to be included in America's greatest business leader list.
Steve Jobs ' Beginnings Steve Jobs was born to a Syrian father and an American mother, who gave him up for adoption immediately after he was born. He was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs of California and spent his 'schooling days' in Cupertino, CA, where he often went to the after-school lectures of the Hewlett-Packard Company. Not surprisingly, he was later hired by HP and worked with Stephen Wozniak.
In 1976, Jobs founded Apple Computer with Wozniak after he saw a computer the latter designed for him. The company's first product was called the Apple I. The next product was aptly called Apple II and it became such a hit that Apple II is credited to be the best selling computer in the 1970s and early 1980s.
In 1984, the firm introduced the Macintosh, which was the first commercially successful computer with a graphical user interface. It was so successful that Apple abandoned further developments on Apple II.”

That is how Steve Jobs triumph goes up and down in the world of business related to technologies. I know that some who saw the Pirates of the Silicon Valley will get jealous and inspired of Steve Jobs attainment in life, and think there are many who want to follow him and one of them is me.
I would also take same career path that Steve Jobs took because of his knowledge he has and how passionate and dedicated he is in what he really loves. But I would also desire to take same career that Bill Gates took, even if Bill Gates doesn’t have same knowledge that Steve Jobs has, but Bill has also the passion and dedication on his work and also the quality of a good technopreneur, because of the manner that he shows even he is successful, he doesn’t changed and the quality of a courageous person, that he really want to compete to others even if it takes tough rivalry to reach it.
I was inspired to take same career with Steve Jobs, for the reasons of the way he handles business and situations and how differently he thinks things out. For him in order to be successful in life is to do what you really love to do or be dedicated and passionate on what is your expertise or what you do. Do your best, be hungry for success and do whatever it takes for you to achieve your dreams and goals. For him to be great successor is not to stick on what you just do instead explore more your knowledge and everything that might help you to gain more success in life. He learns as time passes by, then that’s the time that new development and project comes. Steve also thinks that to be able to reach the success of a technopreneur and businessman is to set your mind-set on your priorities and learn from your mistakes and let it be your inspiration to succeed and learn your weaknesses as a technopreneur. And also to attain the success that you’re dreaming is to trust yourself and your own decisions.
In this time, having the knowledge and intelligence that Steve Jobs have is perfect chance for me to look forward in developing or inventing technologies like he made, or to developing more advance than he can do. But the way he act or treat his employees is not a good thing for me to follow it because the employees is one of the best help that the employer can get in order to lead him to his success, not only him who can benefit of it but also everybody and the company also. And that is what Steve Jobs didn’t realized, because he just stick in mind that his the boss and he has only the right for everything, not knowing that because of the help of them he made it to the top and be counted in the one of the most famous and riches businessman and a technopreneur in the world of businesses.
Not to mention Steve Jobs attitude, Steve can also be considered as a good technopreneur because he has some quality of a good of a technopreneur, just like Bill Gates who is one of the founder of Microsoft and Steve Wozniak who is a co founder of Apple company, Steve’s friend and the main inventor of the Apple Company’s some technologies. Both of them have the qualities of a technopreneur because they both have the intelligence, the attitude, and they can earn money with the help of combining their skills, expertise and the help of technology. Steve also a kind of person that what he thinks must be put into action and be making it perfect as what he thinks of it. However having that kind of attitude really works for him to be a successful businessman for some reasons that, that kind of act or his way managing his career leads him to the point of success and survive from the difficulties that he encounters when he is still developing some technologies in Apple.
As a Technopreneur in the future, I must say that Steve Jobs own kind of handling things out, except for the attitude, really can help me be like him because of the kind of set his mind-set and how he deals with it. Just like when he stills a college student, his mind-set is really set on what he really loves to do and what is really his passion. For me taking same career like Steve Jobs is just like when he is still starting, love what you really love to do and think wide, or let your imaginations put into action because we don’t know, maybe because of that creative imagination that put into action may lead us to the path of success and be like Steve Jobs and bill Gates which is one of the richest Businessman’s in the world and have you own company which is you are the employer and the boss.
