As a CISE's student , I think Steve Jobs , the promoter of Apple , as a creative person. He developed his own thought as a young age , and it have a lot to do with his childhood.His father is the person who gave him some rough concept about contrivances .

His family moved toMountain View(is known as 矽谷) later , where he learn lots of electro knowledge from Larry Land ."It's is a wonderful thing to live in a please where is filled of engineers " he said . Actually , he isn't quit a good student , he always be treated as a pixilated student. As far as he concerned , being a genius have little to do with the scores you get in school . Being encouraged by a teacher , Mme Hill , he started to have interests in schoolwork . As a senior high school student , he had already participate in some proseminars in HP , where he met the most important associate , Steve Wozniak .

Jobs once said that science and new techniques is the key of improving human's life .Working with the other "Steve" , they became groundbreaker of hikers . Their excogitation , blue box , was nearly to across the line . Jobs has his own allure which let Wozniak leave HP to develop personal computer with him . With the thought about personal computer , two Steve created the first motherboard of apple , this a foundation stone of apple . Ipod , a great product which comes form apple is also a attestation of Steve Jobs creativity .

A Creative Person

The person I would like to introduce is always a singer, a rap singer.

The name is Tupac Shakur aka 2pac.

He is also known as the ghetto poet, and is famous for writing meaningful lines and lyrics.
He died at the young age of 25. he was shot and killed. However, his music is still being released after his death.

The official statements for these albums are his unreleased sound treks, but others thought that maybe 2pac didn't really died. May be he is just hiding from some enemies, and faking his death and get underground seems like a good choice.

The music video of the song "I ain't mad at cha" was released days after his death, and is surprisingly similar to what happened the day he died. His song "Life goes on" actually sings about his death and about his own funeral. Further more, he was claim to be dead on Friday the 13, 7 days after the shot up, which matches the famous 7 days theories.

There are further extends on the 7 days theories, but I would like to introduce some of his poetry. My favorite song is "Thug Mansion". It is about how people like himself would like a
place to stay after they go to heaven. And here is part of his lyrics from the song.

Dear mama don't cry, Your baby boy's doin' good
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and it ain't got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night
It had me shook
Drinking peppermint schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook
Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang
Sittin there kickin it with Malcolm till the day came
Lil' Latasha sure grown, tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven
So come home
Maybe in time you'll understand, only God can save us
Where Miles Davis cutting lose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past that passed on
They in heaven found peace at last
Picture a place that they exist, together
There has to be a place better than this, in Heaven
So right before I sleep dear God what I'm asking
Remember this face, save me a place
In Thugz Mansion

His talent is really amazing. I would like to show some of his works in class if I have the chance. I actually wanted to introduce him at the last group presentation, but since it is a group project, we chose the pop singer instead.

A Creative Person

To me, Jay chou is a creative person. He may be still young, but look out world! He may surprise you! If you ask around, many would say that the music world has a new leader - the real king is Jay chou. As a child, Jay chou was never too good at academic subjects, and when he didn't get into any college, a lot of people predicted that he won't have much potential in life. His mom always worried about his future, but he never did. "I knew I still had music to depend on. For everything else, I've had too much confidence, but it is for my musical talent that I'm so sure of myself," he recalls.

With all the musical talent, it isn't surprising that Jay started out as a songwriter. Since the age of sixteen, he has been writing songs for many of the most popular singers. Today, he has already written for some of the most popular Asian singers, including Coco Lee, Jacky Wu, Valen Hsu, Power Station, etc.

It was only in 2000 that Jay released his own debut album "Jay", with the main style being R & B / rap. Singer/actress Vivian Hsu wrote the lyrics to three of the songs in the album: Cute Woman, Istanbul, and Tornado. Jay's soft and smooth voice is especially soothing and serene, making this first album an immediate hit. Each song in the album has its own, different style, and skillfully, Jay used his voice to suit each song's character.

Ultimately, it is Jay's creative talent that has brought him to fame. His first two albums were nearly created all by himself - songwriting, producing, harmonizing, etc. In his concerts, it is not unusual to see him play the accompaniment as well as sing at the same time onstage, while his fans cheer wildly from below.
