Wozzie Dozzie.


Halooo


He is my idol and also my mentor. He is Steve Wozniak or better known iWoz. He's the co-founder of the Multi Billionaire Company, Apple. Ooooo yeah. He's the man. Together with Steve Jobs, he did a marvelous job and created the computer. Despite the problems he had to face, he still managed to develop Apple II ( A good modern computer that time ;p ) I read the book iWoz which is the actual story of his life and since then i was fascinated about him. (People say a lot wrong things about him. But he himself was involved with this book. So yeah)


This is Apple II btw ;)


Being grown up in a simple family, Wozniak's father was the one who introduced him to electronics. He was a brilliant kid. Excelled well in school. His fav subjects are Mathematics and Science. ( He said Math is pure logic. hah) Later in life, Steve Wozniak met Steve Job ( So we have 2 Stevoss now!! =p ) and grew up together. What really catches my attention is that his way of life. He's a Billionaire but he leads a very simple life. Hes the founder of Apple but hes working as an engineer there. Come on.. A rich dude but doesnt want to sit down and be like other rich dudes?? Oh yeah, he started the phone hacking too with this crappy old dude. Wozniak was not into drugs or alcohol when he was in college. Instead, he labels himself in his book as a nerd. A computer geek. Heh? See, a geek that turns into a booolaabooo man now!

If i'm not mistaken, he said something like this ;

'For young people that has the idea but no money, i suggest you stick to the idea. You never know when is the hit point of your life where you can use your idea to develop something big. Keep in mind that idea is always the first thing that comes in your head. Believe in yourself because no one is better than you'

So to my hero Wozniak, thank you for everything you have done. (:
