50. Learn English Through A Great Lesson: Steve Jobs

 


Steve Jobs – The Man Who Changed the World

Steve Jobs was born in 1955 in California. He was adopted by a kind couple and grew up in a small house. As a boy, Steve loved electronics and computers.

In 1976, Steve and his friend Steve Wozniak started a company in a garage. They called it Apple. At first, they sold simple computers. But Steve had a big dream. He wanted to make computers easy for everyone to use.

In 1984, Apple made the first Macintosh computer. It had a mouse and nice graphics. But not everyone agreed with Steve’s ideas. In 1985, he was forced to leave Apple. He felt sad, but he didn’t give up.

He started a new company called NeXT. He also bought Pixar and made hit movies like Toy Story. These new projects helped him grow as a leader and a creator.

In 1997, Apple was in trouble. Steve returned and helped save the company. He introduced the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. These products changed the world.

Steve was not perfect. He was strict and serious. But he always believed in simple, beautiful ideas. He once said:

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”

Steve died in 2011, but his work still inspires us today.

Lesson Learned Believe in your vision, even when others don’t. Start small, dream big, and never give up.

49. Learn English Through A Great Lesson: Bill Gates

 


Bill Gates – The Boy Who Changed the World

Bill Gates was a curious boy who loved reading books and solving problems. At the age of 13, he saw a computer for the first time. It was big and slow, but he was amazed by it. From that moment, he began learning how to code and spent hours working on the computer. He didn’t play much; instead, he enjoyed building things with code.

At school, Bill met a boy named Paul Allen. They both loved computers and quickly became close friends. Years later, Bill went to Harvard University, but he didn’t finish college. Why? Because he had a big dream. He and Paul wanted to start a software company.

They worked day and night. In 1975, they created Microsoft. At first, many people didn’t understand their idea, but Bill believed in it and never gave up. Soon, Microsoft became a big success. Their software helped run millions of computers around the world, and Bill became one of the richest people in the world.

However, money wasn’t everything to him. Bill and his wife Melinda started a foundation. They gave money to schools, hospitals, and poor countries. They wanted to help people live better lives.

Today, Bill Gates is not only a technology genius but also a kind man who gives back to the world.

Lesson Learned

Believe in your dreams, even if others don’t. Work hard, stay curious, and help others when you can.

48. Learn English Through A Great Lesson: Elon Musk

 


Elon Musk: The Man Who Dreams Big

Elon Musk was born in South Africa in 1971. As a child, he loved reading and thinking about the future. He was shy, but he had big dreams. At 12, he made his first video game.

When Elon grew up, he moved to the United States. He believed it was the best place to turn dreams into reality. He worked hard, learned fast, and started many companies.

His first success was PayPal, a company that helps people send money online. But Elon didn’t stop there. He sold PayPal and used the money to chase his bigger dreams.

He started Tesla to build electric cars. People laughed at him. “No one wants electric cars,” they said. But Elon kept going. Now, Tesla is one of the most famous car companies in the world.

He also founded SpaceX to take people to Mars. Everyone said it was crazy. But Elon believed in his dream. After many failures, one rocket finally worked. SpaceX became the first private company to send people into space.

Elon also created Neuralink to connect the brain to computers, and The Boring Company to build fast tunnels under cities. In 2022, he bought Twitter and changed its name to X.

He works day and night, sleeping just a few hours. He doesn’t give up, even when things go wrong. He believes in trying, failing, learning, and trying again.

If you have a dream, don’t give up. Work hard, believe in yourself, and take action. Even if people laugh, keep going. One day, your dream may change the world—just like Elon Musk.
