review

After reading Steve Job's stories, I think he is definitely the guy that we all should look up to. Although he had his ups and downs through out his life, he still became a very famous and successful man. The things I learned from him are that we should follow our hearts and never say never. He always did what he wanted to do and always lived every day as if it was his last day so he could cherish every moment and do something meaningful. Also, he was very diligent and never gave up even though he had encountered his hardest times which was getting fired from his own company. I really admire Steve Job, thinking of the obstacles that he had overcome really surprised me. He is absolutely our role model and his spirit will always be with us.
