start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius; his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries.
