Steve Job’s childhood was a turbulent one, but his own innate cleverness and natural resourcefulness enabled him to deal with school work and academic life in general.
What made Steve Jobs very successful was his astute ability to recognize a particular need, and then make a product that meets that need. He then pictured this invented product, and then use his team of developers and technicians make it into reality.

He supposedly went on playing with computers at the age of 7, and by trying out various type in programs, he was able to produce his first game by the time he was 8 years old.
Before Persson made Minecraft, he worked as a game developer and programmer for King.com and Jalbum respectively, for several years. Outside of his career, Persson developed seven varied games for various competitions, and it’s worth mentioning that he is still in the process of developing new games for release. No doubt he has inspired many to develop their own games, although they may find themselves turning to places like Xsolla to help them find the funding they need to turn their ideas into a fully fledged game and launch it into the world.
Matthew Corrin
Matthew Corrin graduated from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. He then took up an apprenticeship at The Late Show with David Letterman who is considered to be one of the successful American TV hosts. Nowadays, people tend to show interest in his son harry joseph letterman who is yet to make a career in the big screen. Coming back to Corrin, he got short-term work in public relations. Apart from that, there’s nothing more to go on about Corrin’s personal life.
What made Corrin thriving is his talent to take risks, with a little help from his luck. At the time when he developed Freshii, Corrin had no experience in managing restaurants or retail, which meant that he was green. However, his instincts paid off, and his skill to create a successful brand and dining style helped him to develop his business and increase its profits. It just proves that combination of courage, innovation and raw luck can help you achieve success.

With those experiences, he was able to develop his business abilities through sheer approach.
