1. IDEA’S BROUGHT TO LIFE
By Stephen Retlewski

2. DREAMS & IDEAS
Steve Jobs for example, is one person who had nothing but an idea before he made
the first personal computer.
• A lot of people now a days always seem to doubt themselves from the beginning
and don’t believe in themselves.
• They have dreams or ideas but they don’t go through with them and sometimes
work jobs where they don’t like going into work everyday.
• We have to start fulfilling our dreams and not follow what everyone wants us to do.

3. CREATING THE FIRST APPLE
COMPUTER
• After Steve Jobs returned to the U.S., he later renewed his friendship with Wozniak.
• Wozniak was trying to build a small computer. Wozniak thought of this as a hobby
but the visionary Jobs grasped the marketing potential of such a device and
convinced Wozniak to go into business with him.
• In 1975, Jobs and Wozniak set up shop in Jobs' parents' garage and began working
on the prototype of the Apple I.
• To generate the $1,350 in capital they used to start Apple, Steve Jobs sold his
Volkswagen microbus, and Steve Wozniak sold his Hewlett-Packard calculator.

5. PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS
• Steve Jobs purchased Pixar Animation Studios from George Lucas in 1986.
• He than later cut a three-picture deal with Disney and set out to create the first ever
computer-animated feature film. This film took four years to create and is known as
Toy Story.
• This movie was a huge success which released in November 1995. In 1996 Jobs took
Pixar public and by the end of the first day of trading his 80 percent share of the
company was worth $1 billion.

7. SELLING MOST OF PIXAR STOCK
• A little after Pixar was on the stock
market, Apple bought NeXT for $400
million and re-appointed Jobs to
Apple’s board of directors as an advisor
to Apple chairman and CEO Gilbert F.
Amelio. This was due to company
failing to develop a next generation
Macintosh operating system. They
hoped that Jobs could turn the
company around in the right direction.

8. JOBS TAKING OVER AS INTERIM CEO
• In the end of March 1997 Apple had
announced that hey had a quarterly
loss of $708 million. Three months after
Amelio resigned and Jobs took over as
interim CEO. Steve struck a deal with
Microsoft to help ensure Apple’s
survival. Microsoft invested $150
million for a nonvoting minority stake
in Apple. The companies agreed to
cooperate on several sales and
technology fronts.
• Jobs would later install the G3 PowerPC
microprocessor in all Apple computers,
making them faster than competing
Pentium PCs. He also helped develop
the iMac, a new line of affordable home
desktops which debuted in August
1998, which made $5.9 billion.

9. iPod

10. MAKING AN IDEA BECOME REALITY
• Although Steve Jobs did not have a lot of money at first he had an idea that now is
spread worldwide. Allowing citizens to have computer access in their own homes.
• His ideas are what changed the future into creating the fast pace life style we have
today. At the end of the day if you want to be successful in anything you do
• you must first put in all of your effort
• second you may have to make sacrifices
• last but not least you must believe in yourself to accomplish your goals.
• So when you are trying to make your ideas and dreams become a reality remember
you are your own biggest critic.
