When it comes to the idea of, “Doing What You Love” there are not many better examples than Steve Jobs. The movie titled, “Jobs” is a film that tells the story of Steve Jobs and his success. The film displays how Jobs took every risk possible and laid everything down on the line, simply to do what he loved and to make his dream a reality. In Miya Tokumitsu’s article, “In the Name of Love,” she specifically talks about Steve Jobs and his story. In many ways, Tokumitsu disagreed with the ways of Jobs, however after being able to watch the story of Jobs, I believe many of her claims against him are quite arbitrary and unfair. The film begins with Jobs during his college years, first beginning to explore the idea of a home computer. Jobs and his friends started a small computer company in the garage of his parent’s house. Steve Jobs and his friend, Steve Wozniak, developed a computer that was able to use any tv monitor as a display. This was revolutionary at the time, and thus Apple Computers was begun. After quick success of their first computer, the team immediately began working on their second machine, the Apple II, which launched just a little over a year later. The Apple II was yet again a revolutionary machine, being an “all-in-one” computer. The film continues to …show more content…
He knew how he wanted things and wouldn 't accept it any other way. He was constantly trying to do new things, and was never satisfied. Depending on how you look at this, it can be a good or a bad thing, but nonetheless he was a difficult man to work with. As the company grew, this became more and more of problem. Eventually, Steve Jobs was fired from his own company. For the next several years, he continued to do the same type of work and even started another computer company called NEXT Computers. In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and took on the position of CEO where he remained until he passed away in 2011
Steve developed innovations and inventions in technology that were meant to benefit the people. He wanted to make technology accessible to everyone, so he made his tech smaller and cheaper. In addition to creating technology that helps us in more ways than one, is that he also donated large sums of his own money to charities. Jobs was a very private person and never mentioned philanthropic duties in the media (which lead to many criticising him) but did in fact donate $50 million to Stanford hospitals in California and funded HIV and AIDS research.
Steve Jobs and his friend Wozniak started to create their very first computer, and it came out a lot better than what they thought it was going to be. With very little education, the first computer that came out was extraordinary. “It was the first single-board computer with built-in circuitry allowing for direct video interface, along with a central ROM, which allowed it to load programs from an external source” (“Steve P. Jobs”). Without the education that most people get, for someone who dropped out of college, Jobs created such a powerful computer without the knowledge that most people have. Jobs computer that he created along with his friend was so astonishing a second computer came out. “A year later, the Apple II was launched with a simple, compact design like the Apple I, plus a color monitor” (“Steve Paul Jobs”). The first computer that Jobs created was excellent enough to create a second one, which was also a superior computer. Even though Jobs dropped out of college, he was still intelligent enough to create one of the biggest companies in the world. Apple incorporations was going strong until one day the company decided to let Steve Jobs go,...
Today´s society is filled with people that only care about money and a person's profession when it comes to valuing an individual's life. Many people think that having a lot of money, college degrees, and working for a top notch business or company defines who they are, but what about the people who may not be successful in the world's view, but are happy because they are doing what they love to do ? Steve Jobs gave a commencement speech at Stanford University, in 2005, advising the graduates to follow their passions and not to listen to other people's advice about what is valuable or not. He also advised them not to waste their time living someone else’s life. Steve Jobs advocates for individuals to have the bravery to follow your
During the June 2005 Stanford University graduation Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, in only “jeans and sandals under his black robe” delivered his famous commencement speech (“Steve Jobs’ to 2005 graduates,” 2005). This speech drove graduates into exactly how short life is to not follow your dreams and do what you love to do before their inevitable death. As a reputable innovator and advocate for education who experienced a near death situation after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the year prior, Jobs served as the perfect keynote speaker to emphasize how life can simply slip away at any moment and highlight the importance of living a life you love (Gallo, 2011, pg. 1). 2).
In Steve’s graduation speech on June 12, 2005, he stated, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.” This is what Malcom describes as qualities that work has to have to be satisfying—autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward. Steve Jobs’s approach to his work was a large contributor to the overall success of Apple. By following his interests, he created some of the most influential products to the technology field that 500 million people use—second only to Facebook. The Wright brothers hardly gave birth to the idea of an airplane. Dozens of inventors were trying to build kite-like structures with broad wings and engines to power them; the Wrights methodically gathered all they could learn from those others and figured out how to use a lighter
In the article "In the Name of Love" by Miya Tokumitsu, the idea of doing what you love that is contrasted to have a darker meaning that turns the rest of the working class invisible to others. Tokumitsu outlines the fact that those who have jobs that they love don't think about the others that make it possible of them to do what they love. She brings up Steve Jobs with Apple, and how there are people in factories all over the world who are doing the hard labor, but he never points to them as being apart of his success but rather his narcissistic view of love. Purpose- Tokumitsu has the purpose of informing readers that doing what you love can be a fraud because it sets aside certain professions and is directed toward the higher economic class. Basically, that if you're not in a position to work for free and have unfair conditions, then you can't do what you love.

When doing what a person love is not always the right choice. The author Gordon Marino wrote 'A Life Do What You Love', published in 2014 in The New York Times. He argued that a person should not do something one can be passionate about. Marino begins building his credibility with personal facts, citing credible experts to appeal to the readers logically and emotionally. However, in the beginning he uses anecdotes to appeal to logic and authority. Not only Marino used facts and opinions by other writers. He also discussed his own personal emotional to support his argument. But, towards the end he attempts to appeal to the readers logically using famous leaders as an example. This support his argument because it helps the readers better understand
