Apple.

His biological parents did not want him.They gave him away to another couple who promised that he would be a University graduate.However,he did not make it to a University too.His college days were tough,collecting and selling Coke bottle caps that were worth five cents each.College was too far a distance from his home,so he had to stay in the school's hostels.But again,he could not afford staying in the hostels,therefore he slept in a friend's room very often.Every coming weekend,he would cover uncountable distance to just get a good meal,in a temple.They serve free vegetarian lunches every weekend,and it was a sumptuous meal to him.It was not long before he dropped out of college. However he started having interest in something his other friends did not appreciate-Chinese calligraphy.Before long,he found himself back home,in his garage.This was the astonishing moment,he was building what would become the top company today.Yes,the iMac started in a garage.He is none other that Steve Jobs.When the iMac was created,Apple was built.He was the CEO of this very successful enterprise.He had to look for talents,it took him no little effort to get this genius he reckoned to work for him.However,a few years later,he was sacked.Yes,you're right,why will you be sacked from your own company?This was because Steve had differences with this talent he found,and the board of directors did not support Steve.On his own,he opened another two companies,Pixar and Nexon.Nexon is one of the companies behind the very successful MapleStory now.Pixar?Pixar created one of the world's best animated film-Toy Story.It took him a short while to be successful again after being sacked.At this time,Pixar was sold to Disney for 7.5 billion.Apple approached Steve back to work for them,and yes,he agreed.How much would he be paid a year?Nope,not 1 million,not 2,not 50 either.He asked to be paid USD$1 a year.Fifty percent would be his daily attendance at work,so what about the other fifty?It would be based on his work performance.Soon,his name was up on Forbes magazine as soon as the deal with Disney fell through.He was one of the richest men on earth.He then moved on to create the very amazing iPhone 4,and also the iPad,impressive.As much as he was hated for the way he works,people ought to respect the developments he brought to technology,and most importantly,music.He was sighted in Singapore to be drinking coffee with the owner of Google before he passed on.This post is a tribute to the late Steve Jobs.
My newfound idol and inspiration,respect.
