Tell about Steve Jobs and his story of success ?

Apart from being into electronics, they also shared a musical passion. Jobs later recalled how it was an incredible time for music, comparing it to the time when Beethoven and Mozart were alive.

It was Wozniak who got Jobs into Bob Dylan.

They bought brochures of Dylan lyrics and would stay up all night interpreting their meaning. “Dylan’s words struck chords of creative thinking,” Wozniak said. Together they compiled more than a hundred hours of Dylan bootlegs, including the concerts from the ’65 and ’66 tour where Bob Dylan famously ‘went electric.’

In September 1971, on a Sunday afternoon, a day before Wozniak was to drive off to Berkeley, he read an article in Esquire magazine by Ron Rosenbaum entitled Secrets of the Little Blue Box.

The article described how one could use a device that would replicate the tones that routed signals on the AT&T network to make free long distance phone calls. Wozniak immediately called Jobs, who shared his excitement for the device.

Steve Wozniak had designed a Blue Box, and at first, the two used it for pranks. One time they called the Vatican and Wozniak put on an accent pretending to be Henry Kissinger: “Ve are at de summit meeting in Moscow, and ve need to talk to de pope.” They never got the pope on the line, but they were close.

Steve Jobs eventually realized that the Blue Box could be more than merely a hobby.

He put together the rest of the components and calculated the possible pricing for this device, foreshadowing his role at Apple.

The parts necessary to build the box cost around $40, and Jobs decided they could sell it for $150.

They made themselves nicknames, like other ‘phone phreaks’ who toyed with similar devices, and proceeded to demonstrate the Blue Box at various college dorms.

They made a hundred or so and used prank calls to spark interest in the customers.

Very quickly, almost all the Blue Boxes they made were sold out. Jobs later commented on how this stimulated them by showing that they could compete on the market with creations they made.

Wozniak began his studies at Berkeley in 1971, and Jobs visited him a few times a week.

He frequented the student union in Stanford University which was nearby.

At Homestead, he and his friends put on light shows for the school’s avant-garde Jazz program. His friends described him as kind of a hippie, and kind of a brain, without ever fitting into either group.

Jobs was too intellectual for the hippy community, which was all about just getting stoned.

At the high school, everything rotated around what social group you belonged to and Steve Jobs was an outsider.

One his friends described him as being an individual, in a world where individuality was suspect.

In the spring of 1972, Jobs started dating Chrisann Brennan towards the end of his senior year in 1972.

She was highly attractive, and in a vulnerable position in her life due to her parents’ failed marriage.

Not only did Jobs fill a space in her soul, but he also inspired her with his unorthodox lifestyle which she described as crazy.

He experimented with compulsive diets, and long silences that ended with bursts of fast talking. Steve Jobs learned to stare at people creepily for a long time without blinking.

Brennan recalls how he shuffled around like a madman and how he had a lot of angst and darkness in him.

In the summer of 1972, after his graduation from Homestead High School, Jobs announced to his parents that he and Brennan would move to a cabin in the hills above Los Altos.

His father’s response was “Over my dead body.” Steve just said goodbye and left the house.
