The Steve Jobs Nobody Knew




Jeff Goodell was born and raised in Silicon Valley. He worked as a blackjack dealer, a glazier, a janitor, a bartender at a topless club, an editor at a Russian literary journal, and a technical writer at Apple. He has a BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Columbia University. Goodell has began his career as a journalist covering crime and politics in New York City for 7 Days, a weekly magazine that won a National Magazine Award for General Excellence in 1990.
Jeff Goodell has written an article about The Steve Jobs Nobody Knew to expose about the real life of Steve Jobs. Goodell was one of the workers of Apple Company and he knows the real life of Steve Jobs. People thought that every successful person has a good personality but for those person that have worked under Steve Jobs, they might say its a wrong perspective or thought towards Jobs. In this article, Jeff Goodell wrote about the real characteristic of Steve Jobs which is how Jobs changed to be a worse person.
As Apple ascended, Jobs changed, his temper grows shorter and he began treating people around him badly. His bad character showed when he fathered a daughter with his longtime girlfriend Chrisann Brennan at age 23, Jobs was not only denied his paternity but he famously trashed Brennan in public. Jobs said to Time in 1893, "28 percent male population of the United States could be the father". Jobs refused to provide her with any financial help. After his daughter Lisa was born,Jobs was a distant father dropping in on her infrequently. Brennan lived on welfare but Jobs continued to deny paternity until it was confirmed by a DNA test. He was a control freak, Jobs demanded perfection and originality in every detail. The big lesson of capitalism is that Steve, did not believe that consumer was right. He believed that he was always right and people should listen and follow his words.
                       From this article we know that nobody is perfect, even though Steve Jobs was one of the successful person in this world but he did mistakes. He tried to show the world by pretending to be a good person based on what he achieved in his life but people around him know the character of Steve Jobs behind the scene.
