This technology wizard who dropped out of college, once almost became a Buddhist monk. Any guesses? The legend needs no introduction as he has been integral part of our daily lives. We are talking about Steve Jobs. The Apple founder would have turned 63 today.
As the legions of fans celebrate his legacy, here are 5 facts that you must know about Steve Jobs:

2: Jobs dropped out of Oregon’s Reed College because he thought it would be waste of his parent's money.
3: Jobs was fired from Apple because Pepsi Executive John Sculley, whom Steve had hired, informed the company board that Jobs was he was too young for the role.

5: Despite the unmatched success and far-reaching influence on modern-day world, Jobs couldn’t fight cancer. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003. His final words were "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
Recently, there was news that a job application filled out by Steve Jobs more than four decades ago that reflects the Apple founder's aspirations to work in technology and design will go up for auction next month.
With an estimated value of about $50,000, the one-page application from 1973, complete with spelling and punctuation errors, lists his name as "Steven jobs" and address as "reed college," the Oregon college he attended briefly, Boston auction house RR Auction said on Thursday.
The document will be part of a pop culture sale by RR Auction that will take place between March 8 and 15.
