He often disagreed with other people. He was a perfectionist, and expected a lot from his workers. Apple removed him from the company in 1985. He felt sad and betrayed.
However, he did not give up. Steve started a new computer company, and bought a small animation studio called Pixar. With Steve, Pixar made successful movies such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Monster's Inc.
As for Apple, they were having many difficulties without Steve. In 1997, Apple asked him to return and Steve Jobs became their CEO.
Back at Apple, Steve helped them make the iPhone, iPad, iMac, and iPod. These products have changed the world forever, and Apple has become the most valuable company in history.
In 2011, Steve Jobs passed away after a long battle with cancer. His life was full of ups and downs. His story teaches us to keep trying and to follow our dreams.
