Steve Jobs
Jobs redefined the way the world used personal computers, through the company he founded, Apple, Inc.
He created Mac computers and the GUI (Graphical User Interface).
But he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with his driven personality.
By age of 30, the board of directors of the very company he built “fired” him, leaving him humiliated and depressed.
But he started another company (NeXT Computer), which developed the next-generation personal computer technology, and bought Lucasfilm’s computer graphics division and renamed it Pixar.
When a failing Apple, Inc. asked Jobs to return to their helm, he again took over and eventually made Apple, Inc. one of the most innovative and profitable companies on the planet.
