Steve Jobs - a man behind the screen...saver

What's behind all those personalities that we read in the news or keep watching all around the place trying to change the world in certain way? Are they the person we figured at first sight or is there more than the book cover? What's really happening in their lives at the same time things are happening in the spotlight? It's easy to judge someone by their acts but what's behind every decision or quote we hear from them. How's possible they are transcending and being part of our current history while inspire us or maybe the opposite, they are just challenging us by showing us a dark side of thing from us to avoid it and search for better. Are we define by this person we became or will it be for the people around us, that got inspired by us when able to see the real person we are deep inside. What is being said on every action in our life? How can be judged when we don't share the same perspective of things? But also how can we judge if we not open to listen and see more than what we think are capable to.There's always more to add in the equation than a simple definition. What's happening when everyone is trying to change their own world following their own path and trying to build a new one with others that might share or not the same vision.

This is not an easy essay about this psyche getting deeper into human personality and behavior but a very interesting and entertaining one to prove that there is always more than what we can see in the surface. The subject of this analysis is "Steve Jobs"(2015), better known as the CEO of one of the most popular companies based on the tech industry that is well known in every side of the world and is value is multi billion based. Also is well know that he co found with his all time friend, at his garage, the Apple empire. And we knew that he launched Macintosh to become a big career failure pushing the company to fired him just to find himself re inventing another product just to get his way back to his once, beloved company. Also got in a battlefield of the media regarding his attitude against his friends and employees, but mostly regarding his daughter, the one he first didn't recognize but once we started seeing the resemblance in their perspective and language of his own world, start growing on him.



How all this pieces fit a puzzle in a life that was end from the sudden thanks to cancer? Well, we all know and figured how all this is gonna work, award season loves bio epics, so bringing a new one from such a celebrity, entrepreneur, businessman and in his own words, the man behind the orchestra, capable of put and manage all the pieces while others are just the best at their area, designing, decoding, engineering, etc, sounds like we are ready for what is about to come. Fortunately this is not your average bio epic. Based as other recent ones in just a few important events in his life, we are able to get into the mind and skin of one the know called, greatest minds of the century, just by being present in his life for a few minutes before the launching of his greatest creations, the ones that made a bigger impact in his career as much as in his life and all the people around him.

What's the price any mortal needs to pay to build such an empire? A very high one. Being able to coordinate and design the right product, being visionary while keeping it on the cool side while trying to go against the traditional way is not an easy task but when your mind is set on the right direction you might reach your goal, sadly people will get hurt in the process, alienating your closest friends and family. When you run your life like a horse, with a very specific vision, can tend to ignore some details that others but you can see and then fights and egos get involve. But when your mind work as a planner, designing the next step and able to see what is better for the market or your own company, discovering black holes in the process, and imagining a better way, can't let feelings get in involved, treating persons as machines designed to follow a plan. Then your life can't get better but lonely.

The way greater minds act is still a mystery but history has proven than you can have it all, and that big talent come with side effects like the fact of being told more than you are based on your fame or talent more than your heart and humility. As we speak, there a millions of people using any kind of apple product and thats a legacy than just a few can take from. But with time and at the end of the run what matters more? Hit the target and become famous, popular and a role model for millions of strangers while just a few people is still around and has nothing but hate and anger against you is worth the fight? We can't judge until we know whats hiding underneath. Sometimes funny, some others intelligent but mostly stubborn, what makes a man stand in front of thousands take more than a short description and this is just a glimpse of the man behind the name and a logo.

Knowing the truth and embracing what we are and where we come from will let us know better and understand our actions. Can't be a good nor great father if never had one and your own mother wasn't your to be able to love you when got you. Can't be a great leader if never had a role model and the only one we count on is turning against us, losing any faith and respect on us. Then we come back with all what we have and we won't stop till get us to the point where we feel safe and confident again, and that one is most getting to the top, of everybody and everything. That's quite a hard life job.
