Why is it said that Steve Jobs’ life was complicated?

       Steve Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955, in California, to two graduate students at the University of Wisconsin. The couple gave him up for adoption, and Steve was since then taken care of by Paul Jobs, a coast guard veteran and his wife Clara, an accountant.

        In his new family, Steve was brought up well, although he was different from the children of his age. As a young boy, he worked in the family garage, and proved his mechanical skills.

         After schooling, Steve joined the Reed College in Portland, only to drop out within months. He then attended creative classes, including a course in calligraphy.

         By 1974, Jobs landed a job as a video game designer, but again gave it up, and travelled to India to gain spiritual enlightenment. He was deeply interested in Zen Buddhism.

         At the age of 21, Steve and Wozniak started working on the Apple computer. Their beginning was very humble, and the duo used Steve’s family garage as their workplace.

         In 1985, he resigned from Apple, and began a new company known as the NeXT Inc. But by December 1997, Apple Inc. purchased NeXT Inc. for millions and Steve was back in the home-firm.

         On October 5th, 2011 he died of cancer, creating a void in the world of technology that cannot be filled.
