PERSON OF THE DAY-FEBRUARY 24-STEVE JOBS

"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works."

 It was much easier this time to select the person of the day.. Who else other than the most brilliant businessman-cum-engineer deserves to be the one. He revolutionize the way we learn, the way we entertain or even the way we live. Apple was no more a fruit.. 'I pad' and 'I pod' became synonyms of tablets and music players.. 'I phone' became the most trusted mobile phone.. To put it simply, Steve Jobs Apple Inc. remold the world, I would say..

Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24th of 1955. He was given up for adoption as soon as he was born. Later he was adopted an Armenian American couples(Jobs couples). His non-biological parents were poor which lead Jobs to quit his college education. During his early life he struggled a lot. After continuous tenacious effort he managed to built the very first model of the Macintosh. Everything thing started from a garage. From a garage,started the now most valuable Inc. in the world.

He taught us how to fight for what you love. With his life he set an example for achieving your goal. He taught us to "Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish". Anyone could advice.. But Jobs showed us how to win a match.

His death was a great lost.. People like him was and will always be an inspiration to youth like us..

Happy Birthday WINNER....!!!

May you Rest In Peace..
