Statement from the Jobs family
For a decade now, mourning and healing have gone together.
Our gratitude has become as great as our loss.
Each of us has found his or her own path to consolation,
but we have come together in a beautiful place of love
for Steve, and for what he taught us.
For all of Steve's gifts, it was his power as a teacher that has endured.
He taught us to be open to the beauty of the world, to be curious around
new ideas, to see around the next corner, and most of all to stay
humble in our own beginner's mind.
There are many things we still see through his eyes, but he also
taught to look for ourselves. He gave us equipment for living,
and it has served us well.
One of our greatest sources of consolation has been our association
of Steve with beauty. The sight of something beautiful - a wooded hillside,
a well-made object - recalls his spirit to us. Even in his years of suffering,
he never lost his faith in the beauty of existence.
Memory is inadequate for what is in our hearts: we miss him profoundly.
We were blessed to have him as husband and father.
Statement from the Jobs family
For a decade now, mourning and healing have gone hand in hand. Our gratitude is as great as the loss.
Each of us has found our own path to consolation, but we met in a beautiful place for Steve, and for what he taught us.
For all the gifts Steve had, it was his strength as a teacher that still stands today. He taught us to be open to the beauty of the world, to be always curious about new ideas, to look at the next crossroads, and most importantly, to stay humble in our own minds.
There are many things we still see through his eyes, but he was also taught to find himself. He gave us very good provisions for life.
One of our greatest sources of comfort is Steve's association with beauty. The sight of something beautiful - wooded hillsides, well-crafted objects - reminds us of his passion. Even in her final years of suffering, she never lost her faith in beauty.
Memories don't quite represent what's in our hearts: that we miss him so much.
We are blessed to have him as husband and father.
Steve Jobs Life Story
Steven Paul Jobs, thus his full name, was born in San Francisco, United States, February 25, 1955. He was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Jobs' biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, was a professor of political science and his biological mother, Joanne Simpson, was a speech therapist. Most of his childhood to adolescence was spent in Cupertino, California.
After graduating from high school in 1972, Jobs continued his studies at Reed College in Portland for one semester. After that, in the fall of 1974 Jobs began working as an engineer at Atari, a company that designs circuit boards.
Jobs started thinking about starting a company. So two years later, in 1976, Apple was founded, which he and Steve Wozniak built. With a few thousand dollars in capital, the two started a business with a vision of changing the world.
No need to wait long, Apple soon released its first product which was later dubbed the 'personal computer revolution'. At Apple's annual shareholder meeting on January 24, 1984, Jobs introduced the Macintosh. Subsequently the Macintosh became the first commercially successful small computer with a graphical user interface.
Although Jobs was known to be charismatic, a number of his colleagues and employees at that time viewed him as a manager who was easy to change his mind, stubborn and temperamental.
The decline in sales also occurred at the end of 1984 and resulted in a rift in Jobs' working relationship with John Sculley, who was then CEO of Apple.
In late May 1985, after internal tensions and the announcement of massive layoffs, Sculley terminated Jobs as head of the Macintosh division due to differences in vision.
But Jobs' enthusiasm did not stop there. After leaving Apple, Jobs then founded NeXT Computer. Unfortunately, the products it produces are still considered expensive goods and fail to have an impact on the technology industry.
Jobs' real success began in the first half of 1990. Interestingly, this success did not start in the computer industry, but in the film industry. Pixar, the small animation studio that Jobs acquired in 1986, made its debut after releasing the film Toy Story in 1995.
In late 1996, Jobs approached Apple for the company to acquire NeXT. he said, Apple needed an operating system and NeXT had it. Jobs' efforts to persuade Apple was successful. That year Apple announced the purchase of NeXT for USD 429 million.
Apple returned to embrace him and a few months after rejoining Apple, Jobs regained his position as CEO. This was a new point in Jobs' leadership.
From 1997 to August 2011 served as CEO, Apple not only rose from bankruptcy. His various products that were born from the genius of Jobs' ideas, such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone and of course the iPad have changed the realm of consumer electronics and personal computing.
The figure behind the success of the iPhone and iPad actually resigned from the position of CEO of Apple. Jobs officially resigned in August 2011. Illness seems to be the main reason for Jobs to leave the post of captain in one of the largest IT companies.
The fight against cancer
In the midst of his peak leadership period, in August 2004 Jobs revealed that he had pancreatic cancer and had to undergo surgery. Jobs briefly took a break from his busy life at Apple for medical leave and returned to work in September 2004.
January 2009, Jobs again took six months of leave for treatment. Doctors said Jobs had to undergo a liver transplant in April 2009. Then he returned to his post in June 2009.
The news of Steve Jobs' illness is often heard and more or less affects the company's stock. However, Apple continues to shoot, even crowned as the most expensive company and Jobs as America's best CEO.
The legend of this century's technology world has finally passed away. His struggle stopped after he breathed his last on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at the age of 56 years in Palo Alto, Calif, United States. This surprising news came a day after Apple released the iPhone 4S.
He left a wife named Laurene Powell and three children from the marriage. Jobs is also known to have a daughter from his former partner.
In his social life, Steve is known as a visionary. While in his personal life, he is a warm person with family.
Since his death, Tim Cook, Apple's best friend and current CEO, has made a habit of remembering Steve by sending touching emails to all Apple employees every year.
