When every Apple fan was waiting for the next surprise from Steve Jobs, the CEO of the famous computer company shocked the world with his decision—he quit in August, 2011. But unfortunately, he died on October 5th, 2011.

According to some foreign newspapers, Jobs quit because of his health. Job got cancer in 2004 and he had to leave Apple twice for treatment.

Jobs and Apple made a great team. According to a US survey, Jobs was the most admired businessman among American youth.

Even as a young man, Jobs never followed the rules. He dropped out of the college after only one semester. He quit his first job to travel around India. Jobs said that close early experiences made him creative. They broadened his mind and helped to create Apple’s spirit—“Think different”. 

“Don’t waste time living someone else’s life… Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions silence your own voice… Follow your heart and intuition(直覺). Nothing else is really important.

It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching a new school. I love my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past. They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor” How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother's cupboard.
Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas story book. Just then I wanted to express my happiness, I was interrupted(打斷)by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag.”        "
When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s share one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts, They always remind me of my lovely kids.
