Steve jobs was a pancreatic cancer patient. Once the doctor told him that he was going to die soon. He started to think that if he was going to die tomorrow the what was the thing that he wanted to do in life? At that time he realized that he want to do something better something great that could change the world. His two master products – iphone and ipad were launched after his surgery and his come back. His message was to stop living someone else’s life and start living yours.
- Perfectionism
Steve’s laser like focus and his perfection in work is famous.He would pay attention to even the minute works. He even used to check the tiles used in apples retail outlet. One of his patent is an example for that. Steve Jobs holds two patents regarding the glass staircase. Patent D478,999 from 2003 granted the ornamental design to Steve Jobs and others. A trip to the major Apple locations would in fact allow you to walk through one of Steve’s most iconic ideas.
- Making Impossible To “Its Possible”
It was very hard or impossible saying no to steve. When he got the spark of iphone he told his engineers to create a phone having only one button. The engineers and Apple’s board of directors told him that it was not humanly possible but he didn’t pay any heed to anyone until he got his iphone. His vision was incredible.

All the technologies used by Apple are not invented by them. But they could convert the technology into usable products. If iphone and other devices were not released these touch phones and technology used would still remain in labs only.
