In 1985, Steve jobs had a disagreement with others at Apple Computer, the business he co-founded, and actually left the company. Before long he founded another business, NeXT Computer, Inc., and purchased a second company, The Graphics Group. He changed the name of The Graphics Group to Pixar Animation, partnered with Walt Disney Studios, and produced "Toy Story", "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "A Bugs' Life", and other animated films. He then sold Pixar to Disney and he's now the largest Disney stockholder and sits on the Board of Directors. In the meantime, his new business, NeXT, was actually purchased by his old business, Apple, Inc. He returned to Apple, and was appointed CEO, a position he still holds today.
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes....... the ones who see things differently; they're not fond of rules....... you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things....... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
