Steve Jobs married Laurene Powell Jobs on March 18, 1991 in a traditional Buddhist wedding ceremony. The couple had 4 children - Erin, Reed, Lisa and Eve jobs. Jobs contributed so much to revolutionize humanity and has sparked inspiration among several generations worldwide. With great power and such success came some trials and tribulations, however. After being fired from Apple for a short while, Jobs launched NeXT - the computers were too expensive and failed to gain traction in the markets. These trials later shaped his later success and the positives significantly outweighed the negatives. Jobs' successes include the creation of several well-known cooperations (Pixar, NeXT, Apple Inc, etc), innovative retail experiences both designed and managed by him which became a major hit, introduced the computer mouse and revolutionized the sales of music, and received several awards and acknowledgments for his outstanding contributions to the tech world.

A lot of factors can influence the way we behave and how we tackle situations in the future. For Jobs, his disobedience in school shaped his outlook on classes in the future. Jobs flunked out of college and acted out as a child out of boredom but later found his love for tech and typography when he would drop into creative calligraphy classes at Reed College, which he then audited after dropping out.
