Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?

Of course yes, why not. It was my first time to watch the movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, and after watching the movie. I was enlightened and more informed regarding on some information on the origin of PC (personal computers). I was carried away by the fact of the things from were the two powerful men of our technologies today’s started from nothing, a thought that you don’t need to have a high degree on any profession nor do you need to have a high I.Q. as Einstein has, to be successful in your life. I admire their knowledge in the field of computers. For me, you only need to have perseverance and an attitude to never give up every time you would fall as like what happened to Bill Gates cause for him every fall is another opportunity to try it once more. Or like Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniac whose very hard working on their passion on computers they never give up on their dream on making the computer that could top the computers of the IBM. It was just a simple business that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac made out of their own they never give up on making it more efficient and progressive computer as ever build by the IBM it was just in the garage their first business was made but just in a moment of time a capitalist visited them and offered to invest in them were they move into a bigger building and the APPLE was born, thinking of that, It could give people hope, like me, a thought to not give up nor lose hope to take chances every time we fall for Ex. when you get a failing grade :P . That’s not the end of it but a chance to take it up again and to learn it once more.

“But there’s a negative attitude to be point out. It teaches me one thing; you should not be arrogant in whatever soaring accomplishments you will have. Because you will never know what the future will holds, sometimes those who are not considered before might be the one who will succeed more in their striving endeavor. Just maintain a humble profile and you don’t need to hurt someone’s feelings just to focus on your own interest, a good explanation will be a good step, and consider other people’s point of view. Because in an organization, it’s not only a matter of one brain functioning in, it’s sharing of idea and information in the organization to make it immense and successful.
But everyone deserves a second chance, and it’s a matter of coping, not just only on your determination to succeed again but also most especially on altering your unconstructive character. Because we cannot alter our lives by not altering our unconstructive attitudes towards others.”
And I would not steal just to use others work for my own purposes because in every way or another it is steal not good even if you know you are the best but still deep inside you, you know that was not your work and it violates my ego to see someone idolize or see me as a role model in these field but I was not the one who made that work that made me successful but its just a big lie like what Bill Gates made, yes everyone thought of him as the very wealthiest man in the world, he left his head high in the field of our technology today, but that doesn’t make since because even himself knows he just stole all the things he has, And that’s not what a Technopreneurship I learned from our facilitator Technopreneur requires a mindset on how you are going to innovate and develop the ideas you have from planning to working on making it into a reality it requires hardworking and perseverance to come up with it. And not to steal ideas from just someone you like to steal with. Because that would be unfair and injustice to the other who made the ideas you have stolen the fact that it was made with just nothing but ideas I would consider it a very big part on making a great object or projects on the future like the computers made by Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniac. And a real technopreneur knows how to deal with the things that could come up in any situation and at anytime given for I believe that to be a good Technopreneur requires honesty and to be a good proprietors at the same time. Because you are not just alone the company needs to make it develop and grow, nor you can manage it all by yourself, but you need your employees as much as they need their jobs, so treat them as a family and not as your employees, for them to give their best to their jobs to be more efficient and productive as you want them to be.
For that I see hope on being a Technopreneur someday because maybe someday I would be successful as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but in my own ways and in my own ideas as well, as the facts that everyone has its own way on making it to the top, and at their own time, I may fall every time I would try, but then again I would have another chance to try it again until I succeed and I am more willing to learn the ways on how to be a great Technopreneur again and again just like Steve Jobs had made out of the things he had made from his past he may be get fired from the company and starts at zero again but he made in just a matter of time he regained himself from the company he built and worked, and made worthy of the things he made for a longtime, striving to cope up from his wrong doings and failures now. From the readers digest he is now one of the most influential businessmen in the world.

How do you see yourself as a technopreneur?

I see myself as a Technopreneur in a way that maybe I don’t have that much talent as Steve Jobs have or as wise as Bill Gates is, but like what our facilitator Sir Randy said there is much more to consider than an I.Q, or a talent on something but a skill of perseverance on what your doing, to stand up every time we fall, simple aspects that you don’t know that could be more useful to anything and that I have, It gives me ideas, encouragement and enlightenment that I myself could be as about being a technopreneur and what benefit it can give to the growing problem of unemployment to our countries, I began to realize that if only we can develop something that would make us to become a technopreneur, in this, people won’t need to go job hunting or to be unemployed, we could give instead jobs to others, a help to the growing problem of our country, and could aid the country’s economic crisis.
As what it could benefit to us, if I would be a technopreneur I could see myself a web page designer or web page developer because for me in taking a jobs, you must have an ideal or passion on what you do in everything to be more progressive and productive in your job your doing I prefer it to be my field of job in a way of my specialties in webpage, an owner maybe of a company that help make adds in the internet of some companies or stock holder, as what I admire the two people who helped a lot in making the World of Technology, even if they have not finished any degree or profession in their studies in Harvard they were very successful to their chosen field of careers, then how would I be when I finished my studies, on that way, I see myself to be the next Steve Jobs or the next Bill Gates. Hope so, there is nothing to lose in giving your best. Technopreneurship maybe used to earn money through the use of technology, Even by some people in away they could imagine with their ideas and abilities in the field they would choose.
But people are really struggling for survival trying to go to school to get high grades get a high paying job or to pass the board exam and go abroad to earn for a living but that what makes it ironic, its because other countries starts to grow because of our scholars and good ones, they make part in other countries success and development in away that they prefer to take chances and they don't know that the stuffs that could save them from annihilation and being broke are just here in the land we’ve grown. Yes just here, you only need a wide visions on seeing things not just the same thing but the other way just like what I’ve learn from Steve Jobs like starting to innovate our self at our age by just earning some money in computers and with an internet connection, or if they know something about computers. Like the one my classmate, he earn money “a big amount of money” just by reformatting their desktops or laptops, that could even cost a small amount of money to start of, all you need is just installers of programs or you can ask for it and knowledge about it. That's how amazing it is. And worst of it lots of people don't see this stuff and have no plan in learning some things now a days that is growing fast, technology. Yes. So could this be? Ok, first thing's first, There are lots of offers in the internet, ranging from advertising, to affiliate business, to freelance writing, and now how could you say it's impossible to do. Well, it's up with you, as many wise people say, "whether you think you can or you think you cannot, either way you're right, you can never know unless you’ve tried." I was always open on having business influenced by my mothers thought that when you’re an employee no matter how hard you try on making money you would never reach the top of being wealthy enough to sustain your family’s need but in doing business a lot of opportunities could come up that thing came up on me that I would study hard and become a business oriented man but the only problem is how.?? Now there are really lots of stuffs in the web that you could earn from. Or you would use anything that is a masterpiece of technology.
Being Technopreneur is really the things people could consider now. Especially these times that we have job inflation rate and based on statistics, here in Phil., we have millions of people that are jobless. Yes, sad to say, it is the reality on how people don’t know how to be a Technopreneur. Being a Technoprenuer really can help in this kind of situation where having now. Why? Because when you start a business, you could start hiring some of your fellowmen as your employees and you can give job to others when you’re business bloom. So now you are not just helping yourself to have a financial freedom, at the same time, you are now helping other people to their financial problems and in our countries economic crisis. At the same time we may develop our countries IT world and we could have more chances on coping up with other countries technology or more we could have the advantage on other leading countries if only these things would happen, so I would prefer to see myself as a technopreneur here in the phil. Someday, Innovating people on how big are the chances if we would be helping each other on making our country in the pace of technology in the world in the first place there are a lot of Filipinos abroad who are the one behind the technology work of other countries.

What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?

Steve Jobs was successful in his career because of “his skills, his way of thinking and he sees things differently from others like the one he invented, it was a small box that can call to any other countries and to any personable like the Pres. Of the U.S.A. or the Pope in Vatican City, which he originally invented from just a small object that his friend Wozniac had never imagine it would be.” “But still Steve Jobs was not yet contented on it and wanted more of that, so he thought of making some else that accounts Steve Jobs on his success he never settle for just small things but craves for more.”


So after Wozniac tried to make a PC in his room for the newspaper, Jobs just got a new idea, on making Home Computers, he had no money for a capital so he sold his car to start a new business to make Home Computers, he even went to banks to loan some money for. “Persevered in their work Steve Jobs got themselves an investor who is interested to invest in their new business, after sometime they joined a Computer Expo.,” and showed their newly built PC that can be topped on other computer made by the IBM “being a good salesman Steven Jobs was able to get themselves other investors to invest on their business.”
After Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac made history on his garage with some of their other friends making Home Computers and making lots of investors to invest in their ideas they started a company called APPLE with being the co-owner and creator of PC (personal computers). Later Steven Jobs girlfriend got pregnant and demanded Jobs to accept the child his bearing but Jobs refused to. “His short tempered made him angry and starts yelling at his employee he even discouraged one of his employee just because of his personal problems.”


After establishing the company they started working on LISA a computer named after his illegitimate daughter, the project was done in no time, after the successful launching of their new product Steven Jobs begun acting like the other man Wozniac don’t want to be arrogant, Steven Jobs was full of confidence of himself that he could do anything, that anyone would do anything to be just around him. At his 20’s Steven Jobs was the influential man in his age. After the project LISA Steve jobs launched another project the Macintosh everyone of his employee worked hard for him to create the Macintosh, there was a part on the movie that Jobs grouped the Lisa team and Macintosh team on fighting each other that made his friend Wozniac decide to quit on Apple, leave Jobs and go back to College.


While Bill Gates was making his own way on making a program he then became jealous on Jobs computer the way it was made and programmed so Bill Gates decided to pay a visit to the Apple, Gates was then entertained and was toured inside the company’s building and discovered that they are working on a new project Bill Gates then convinced Jobs to let him worked to their company and offered his OS to them even though they don’t have a such OS he told to Jobs and have some of their prototype computers of Macintosh so he could add something to the project but Jobs didn’t took his offer, he doesn’t trust Gates. So on Bill Gates tried again, but this time Gates tried another tactics, he used Jobs weakness his “short tempered and arrogance.” And made Jobs accept his proposal on giving him some of the prototype computers their working on for the Macintosh, Bill Gates was so desperate on having his hands on those computers ad its OS, he then began on pirating the OS of the computer behind Jobs for his own purposes. Steve Jobs then learned of it and confronts Gates about it but then again Bill Gates manipulated Steve Jobs he told him lies about what he was just doing is just a prototype of the Macintosh, that the said accusations where not true and he was only trying something out but not betraying Jobs by pirating his OS. After sometime the Macintosh was finished, Jobs then throw a party bash for the accomplishment of the project, he began his speech on how they worked hard for the new product their launching but their were some speech degrades the LISA team on how it was more efficient and greater to LISA, that starts again the rivalry upon the two project team.

Jobs were never concern on how or what would his employees feel just because of his art sayings. Jobs then launched the new product of their company the Macintosh to the public and learned that the OS that was programmed to their computers was not their but Gates OS that was pirated from the original OS of the Macintosh, Jobs confronts Gates again but this time Gates reveals his true colors and slap Jobs about the reality that he is not as wise nor powerful as he think he is that he was not the victim but just a partner to the crime he made by stealing from the XEROX and then he just steals it again from him that made them equal. A year later Steve Jobs was fired from his job in just a blink of an eye he loses everything he worked on the company he build was then part of the company that just stole his ideas and OS just because of his arrogance and self centered.

After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. NeXT's subsequent 1997 buyout by Apple Computer Inc. brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since then. Steve Jobs was listed as Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Businessman of 2007.
