He is the largest individual shareholder in Walt Disney. His name is associated with innovative products like the iPod, iPhone and iTunes. He is a much respected corporate leader whose management style is studied worldwide. His attention to design, function and style has won him millions of fans. Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955. He became interested in computers when he was a teenager. In 1974, he got a job as a technician at the video game maker Atari. He saved enough money to backpack around India and then returned to Atari. Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple in 1976. Jobs guided Apple to become a major player in the digital revolution. The introduction of the iMac and other cutting-edge products made it a powerful brand with a loyal following. Jobs also enjoyed considerable success at Pixar. He created Oscar-winning movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo. In 2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a cancer. In April 2009, he underwent a liver transplant and his prognosis was “excellent.” His advice to aspiring young entrepreneurs is: “You’ve got to find what you love.” Video Studio I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees. We’d just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I’d just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. 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 heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. Lesson Two Audio Studio Making the transition from high school to college life can be difficult. It is easy to become discouraged, overwhelmed and homesick. Here are a few tips that will make the transition to college life a little easier. You Are in Charge of Your Time Along with your newfound freedom at college comes responsibility. Being responsible involves being able to manage your time. Using a planner to help you stay organized is highly recommended. You should also try to plan your coursework in advance, so you can determine what extracurricular activities you will have time for. It’s Important to Keep an Open Mind When you first move to college, you’re going to be in a new place, handling new situations. So you need to keep an open mind. College isn’t just about learning facts and theories from textbooks. A large part of college involves learning how to be an adult. Home Is Only a Phone Call or Instant Message Away If going away to college is the first time you’ve been away from home for a long period of time, it’s natural to feel homesick. Don’t be pessimistic. And if things get too bad, home is only a phone call or instant message away. Video Studio At the start of freshman year, finding a job after graduation is probably the last thing on your mind, but before you know it, it’ll be senior year and finding that job will be your top priority. Hi, I’m Lindsey Pollak, generation Y career expert and author of Getting from College to Career. I’m standing here on the campus of Columbia University to talk about a four year plan to land the job of your dreams after you graduate. Well, everybody’s experience is very different. There are a few guidelines you can follow for each of your four years. Freshman year, don’t worry too much about your career plans. Try lots of activities, get your feet wet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is you most enjoy. Sophomore year is the time to narrow down your academic focus and decide on a college major. You also want to narrow your options in terms of your extracurricular activities to focus on your biggest commitments. And finally I recommend getting a professional internship the summer between your sophomore and junior years to start having professional experience you’ll be able to list on a résumé. Junior year is a time to take on leadership positions in the extracurricular activities that you’ve chosen. It’s also really important to get your GPA above a 3.0 because that’s the cut-off for many employers to give you a job. And finally if you haven’t done an internship already, it’s essential to have at least one on your résumé by the end of your junior year.
