It’s not always easy co-founding a large business like Apple. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak didn’t always agree on decisions that had to be made for the company. Apple was a publicly owned corporation, so they had a board of directors working with them. When one conflict came up that Wozniak and Jobs disagreed on, they went to the board of directors to solve the problem. They sided with Wozniak and made the decision to fire Steve Jobs from his own company. Steve Jobs didn’t let this stop him. Although he didn’t think so at the time, he said, “It turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.” He took this opportunity to turn it into something else great. His two new projects were NeXT and Pixar. NeXT is another computer manufacturer started by Steve Jobs. NeXT was intended for the higher education and business markets. During the same time, Jobs also bought Pixar from Lucasfilm (Star Wars). While he was partnered with Pixar, he worked as an executive producer for the movie “Toy Story.” When Disney later purchased Pixar, Jobs became the single largest shareholder of the Walt Disney Company. Later on in 1996 Apple bought NeXT Computers, which allowed Steve Jobs to come back into the company he co-founded. No matter what the circumstances were, Steve Jobs didn’t give up, he continued to try to improve himself and the world around him.
