Jobs早期对电子的兴趣来自邻居。邻居自己的孩子有这样一位巧手的DIY父亲，had much better access to the resource.But Jobs'passion/personality made all the difference. Passionate, self-driven, 不受世俗条条框框所限，这样的孩子前途非父辈可以预见.
"Mr. Jobs developed an early interest in electronics. He was mentored by a neighbor, an electronics hobbyist, who built Heathkit do-it-yourself electronics projects."
"He was brash from an early age. As an eighth grader, after discovering that a crucial part was missing from a frequency counter he was assembling, he telephoned William Hewlett, the co-founder of Hewlett-Packard. Mr. Hewlett spoke with the boy for 20 minutes, prepared a bag of parts for him to pick up and offered him a job as a summer intern."
