Although many facts about the history of Steve Jobs, many great feats and an almost mythical image, the fact is that first of all, Steve Jobs was a human, eccentric, witty but ordinary being. Here are some anecdotes that speak a little of the background of this genius that both influenced the world of technology.
Steve Jobs and money
Oddly enough, Jobs was not always a rich guy. Quite the contrary. In her meager beginnings Steve Jobs passed hard times of hardship. The strange thing about it is that, in many cases seemed to give the same. For example, one of Steve Jobs anecdotes told by his ex-girlfriend and mother of Lisa:
According Chrisaan for Rolling Stone explained, at a time when they had no money either and after a genuine act of waste according to the situation (go to movies and dining out), returning to the car they found a fine of 25 dollars for parking. This led to a time of discussion in which Steve Jobs, after a long time patient, getting angry and ended with a cool calm, threw coins and notes they had left to the sea. As if to say that the money was not worth much discussion. But despite desperately need it.LISA
Talking about Lisa, many will wonder who she is. Lisa is the result of the relationship between Chrisaan Brennan and Steve Jobs. Name also put the first computer that was creating by Jobs, confirming later: "it clear that we named my daughter" we talking about Lisa, the company's computer. Then the marketing team did their job to sell the acronym, though, developers have sometimes used these initials as a joke, before the mystery as the acronym Let's Invent Some Acronym.
Why are you working?
Another Steve Jobs anecdotes counts as one day, Heidi Roizen, CEO of T / Market and distributes software for Apple long ago received a call from Jobs to discuss negotiations. By starting the conversation, Roizen told him that his father had died while she was traveling in Paris. "What are you doing working?" Jobs replied immediately, "Go home, go your way." When he spoke to her, his attention was delicate and extreme, she says Roizen, probably because his own mother had died a few months ago.
The problem with hygiene
Not everything that surrounds Steve Jobs was socially correct. Like all eccentrics and geniuses of the world, had some rather quirky ways. Among them are some hygiene problem. Among other things, Steve Jobs enjoyed mainly fish, rejecting any other meat. By eliminating other meats, Jobs thought his body was free of unpleasant odors, so you do not need or showering too frequently or wear deodorant.
So says Walter Isaacson, his authorized biographer who has this and other anecdotes about Steve Jobs. Another anecdotal account of Steve Jobs when he was working as Atari, he was moved to the night shift because of their lack of bodily cleanliness or strange habit of walking around the office barefoot. It also has a biography of Jobs' favorite activities to de-stress during the early years of the company was to wash his feet in the toilet of Apple.
Steve Jobs Monk
Although it is a well known fact, Steve Jobs practiced Buddhism in a very applied way. It was so fond of this philosophy that there was a time when his aspiration was to become a Buddhist monk. One of the anecdotes of Steve Jobs has as after a trip to India, with one of his best friends from Reed College, came back with a shaved head. Very different from the young long-haired Steve Jobs we all remember, and having embraced Buddhism.
