Steve Jobs Not Materialistic


Money we have seen can change a lot of people.People who are simple,living a normal life with the little income they have when exposed to richness are changed a lot in every aspect of their life.Steve Jobs who was the Co-founder and CEO of Apple Computer's which is one of the Biggest company in todays market was not one of the people who changed beacause of money.He was a person living a simple life before he was rich and even after he became a Millionare. Walter Isaacson Biographer of Steve Jobs in a Interview with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes" discussed how jobs dealt with the pancreatic cancer that took his life , Jobs' non-relationsship with his biological father , and his technological innovation as the CEO of Apple.It featured audio from 40 interviews Issacson conducted with jobs for his book.In one of those interviews Jobs said that he saw money distort the lives of other people at Apple , and vowed to avoid living a lavish lifestyle."I'm not going to let this money ruin my life," Jobs said on tapes.He never had a Materialistic Attitude and he loved what he did.In a commencement speech at Standford he talked about his thrown out if his own company and he said "I still loved what i did" which shows his passion for what he did rather than what he earned out of it.Steve Jobs was man who just did what he loved. Also while talking about his rivals(Bill Gates) he said "Bill ended up the wealthiest guy around.And if that was his goal then he achieved it. But it;s not really my goal. And i even wonder in the end if it really was his goal. I don't know." Steve Jobs founded the greatest company of all time and the products which it created have really revolutionised the way we were living.
