• Get Fired• Believed or not, he was

“fired” from his own company, because he hired a person how manage the business, but him gave him the back, and finally he was kick out from his own company.

• Start over• He had to start over again, begun like a teenager

with dreams, and these feeling put him to tried to reach other goal. During the next five years he started a company named NeXT, and another company called Pixar.

day, miraculously, the tumor was disappeared. In a gastro-intestinal test the tumor was gone.

• He was graceful with life, and show him that nobody it´s out border of death
