The year is 1985, less than ten years after Steve Jobs founded Apple, he was fired. Right in the prime of his success at the ripe age of thirty, Jobs was forced to resign by the then CEO Jon Sculley. It would take nearly 12 years before Jobs came back to the company that he started. Shortly after returning in 1997, Jobs took Apple into the stratosphere and completely revolutionized personal computers, handheld technology and the way we consume information. We know Jobs today as one of the titans of tech, a giant of Silicon Valley and a legend of the business. To the majority of us, a failure like this would cause a slow decline into self-pity, chaos and destruction, but not Steve Jobs. During his time away from Apple, he founded the company NeXT which developed computer workstations and funded Pixar Studios contributing to its exponential growth.
