Steve Jobs

Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs was an American entrepreneur. He is best know as the co-fonder,  chairman, chief executive officer  of Apple Inc. He was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California, U.S.After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes. Jobs later recounted how one course in calligraphy developed his love of typography.
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower
In 1974, Jobs took a position as a video game designer with Atari. Several months later he left Atari to find spiritual enlightenment in India, traveling the continent and experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers. The duo started in the Jobs family garage, and funded their entrepreneurial venture after Jobs sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved scientific calculator.Jobs and Wozniak are credited with revolutionizing the computer industry by democratizing the technology and making the machines smaller, cheaper, intuitive, and accessible to everyday consumers. The two conceived a series of user-friendly personal computers that they initially marketed for $666.66 each. Their first model, the Apple I, earned them $774,000. Three years after the release of their second model, the Apple II, sales increased 700 percent to $139 million dollars. In 1980, Apple Computer became a publically traded company with a market value of $1.2 billion on the very first day of trading. Jobs looked to marketing expert John Scully of Pepsi-Cola to help fill the role of Apple's President.
Apple introduced such revolutionary products as the Macbook Air, iPod, and iPhone, all of which have dictated the evolution of modern technology. Almost immediately after Apple releases a new product, competitors scramble to produce comparable technologies. In 2007, Apple's quarterly reports were the company's most impressive statistics to date. Stocks were worth a record-breaking $199.99 a share, and the company boasted a staggering $1.58 billion dollar profit, an $18 billion dollar surplus in the bank, and zero debt.In 2008, iTunes became the second biggest music retailer in America-second only to Wal-Mart. Half of Apple's current revenue comes from iTunes and iPod sales, with 200 million iPods sold and six billion songs downloaded. For these reasons, Apple has been rated No. 1 in America's Most Admired Companies, and No. 1 amongst Fortune 500 companies for returns to shareholders.
When he was kicked out from Apple. he picked himself up and started building new company NEXT. He did not stop going forward, he always tried to create something new, and the things that he created became such a famous and unique. Everyone loves Apple, and everyone wants to have Apple product, once they get, they love it. We can see his uniqueness in what he planned , he planned to be the best, not the biggest, he became the best, and the biggest.











Ted Turner


Ted Turner is an American media mogul, he is well know as co-founder of CNN.Born in 1938 in Cincinnati, Robert Edward used to called Ted Turner III was the oldest child of Edward and Florence Turner. When Turner was 9, his father a native Southerner, moved the family to Savannah, Georgia, where he formed the outdoor advertising venture Turner Advertising Co. As a problem child, Turner spent much of his youth in military schools in Georgia and Tennessee. He wanted to go to the Naval Academy, but instead enrolled at Brown University at his father's insistence. He was eventually expelled from Brown when he was caught with a woman in his room-a flagrant violation of school policy.

Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.

At the age of 24, Turner inherited his father's company and immediately set out to stop the deal his father had set into motion before ending his life. The buyer agreed to void the sale, and under Turner's management, the company thrived. But it wasn't long before Turner became bored with billboards. Deciding to diversify, in 1970, he bought the near-bankrupt Atlanta TV station Channel 17. He renamed the station WTCG (for Turner Communications Group) and plastered unleashed billboards with prominent advertisements for the new Channel 17.By showing primarily reruns of sitcoms such as "Gilligan's Island" and "Leave It to Beaver" and old black-and-white movies, Turner had the station turning a profit within three years. But he knew that eventually he would have to run original programming if he wanted sizable growth. Sports seemed to be just the ticket. His first success came with wrestling. Turner built a full-sized wrestling ring in his tiny headquarters building and broadcast live professional wrestling matches. Ratings soared, but his biggest coup was winning the rights to broadcast Atlanta Braves games. The station became so dependent on the Braves that Turner purchased the team in 1976, ensuring a regular and marketable source of programming.

His superstation a success, Turner looked for other ways to exploit satellite technology, and proposed launching a 24 hour live news network. Turner was not the first to think of an all news channel. Other media heavyweights had long thought about doing it, but were leery after very costly failed attempts. Turner's gut told him it was a good move. Risking everything he owned, he started the Cable News Network in 1980, and once again, the gamble paid off. According to many experts, by providing live coverage of breaking events, CNN transformed the way news was reported. "The definition of news was rewritten-from something that has happened to something that is happening at the very moment you are hearing it," Time magazine editors explain.
He is a person who dreamed a future and he created his future by himself, he even created a future of CNN. He is a happy person, because he can enjoy with what he has earned in whole life.He works a lot, and that helps him to be active and energetic more, that helps him to go and see more further dreams and goals. He also did not want to earn money in a bad way, whatever he has today, he spent all his life working, straggling for  better life, and he proved that only hard working helps people to achieve their goals.
