Illegal immigrant lottery

Some time ago, Jobs' widow, Laurena Powell, went on a hot search again.

Although the picture quality is so touching, it is not difficult to see that the 56-year-old Laurena is in excellent condition.

Even with her younger 12-year-old boyfriend, there is no sense of disobedience, and even the man looks more anxious than her. ......

According to related reports, Laurena's new boyfriend is Daniel Helm, and they have known each other for more than two years.

Daniel is a world-class Michelin chef, specializing in high-end catering.

Although he is a chef, he is still quite a local tyrant and has his own gourmet empire section. (Of course, it's still a long way from Laurena ...)

Daniel himself also said in the interview that he and Laurena share the same interests, especially in healthy eating.

I had an affair with actor Ben Affleck before, but it was not officially announced.

She is seven years younger than Laurena. She was elected as the mayor of Washington in 2006, and served as a special consultant for venture capital companies after leaving office.

There should be many topics between two people, sunbathing together.

Fendi will also help her with her bag and accompany her to buy buy to buy it.

The relationship between them used to be very good. At that time, Laurena was photographed playing with her boyfriend and daughter, but the relationship only lasted for three years and they finally broke up.

As "the richest woman in Silicon Valley", Laurena can be said to be the envy of women all over the world.

If you think that your new boyfriend is greedy for her tens of billions of property, it is wrong.

Because not long ago, Laurena said in an interview with The New York Times that she would donate all her property of $25 billion (about 654.38+0735 billion RMB) in the future, and she didn't intend to leave it to her descendants.

Many people don't quite understand what Laurena did. She worked hard to earn a huge sum of money for half her life and gave it away.

But if you know her extraordinary first half, you will understand why her attitude towards money can be so free and easy.

Self-reliance is the premise of Excellence.

Unlike Bai, who was born with a golden key, Laurena's childhood was not only not rich, but also full of depression and gloom.

Laurena's father was a marine pilot. She was killed in a plane crash when she was 3 years old. My mother remarried to a high school counselor with three children.

I thought life would get better, but my stepfather is a sadist+alcoholic, who often touches his children after drinking.

Under the economic pressure, their family can only submit to humiliation.

However, by then, little Laurena had set up a banner for herself:

Be a self-reliant person.

"I understand a very clear truth: always stand on your own. Only by self-reliance can I get rid of the control of others. "

Because of her poor family, Laurena's brother has been a newsboy since childhood. Later, Laurena followed her brother out to sell newspapers.

When she grew up, she began to work as a lifeguard and nanny.

"In order to be self-sufficient, I have done everything a child can do. Snow shovel, lifeguard, nanny, swimming coach ... I have done all these jobs. "

"When I reached the age of 16, I immediately signed up as a bus conductor because of its higher salary. After going to college, I collected all channels to win scholarships and loans for myself, and also worked as a part-time waiter. "

Everything Laurena does is for her own study. Because she knows that reading is the only way for her to achieve self-reliance.

These efforts were not in vain. At the age of 22, Laurena successfully graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in economics from Wharton Business School and a bachelor's degree in literature from the University of Pennsylvania.

Subsequently, she successfully joined the famous company Goldman Sachs as a fixed income trading strategist.

For the average person, it is very good to be able to counterattack from Cinderella to this point.

But for Laurena, it's not enough.

Because she knows that if she wants to stand higher and enter the upper class, she must work harder to go up.

Three years later, 25-year-old Lawrence made an amazing decision:

She wants to quit her current high-paying job and go to stanford graduate school of business for an MBA.

Friends around her advised her to calm down again, but Lauren made up her mind.

As soon as she submitted her resignation, she bought a plane ticket to California and went to Stanford University for further study alone.

It was also there that she met the man who was determined to make technology change the world, her future husband Steve Jobs.

She is his wife and armor.

Before meeting Laurena, Jobs was a real love rat.

Although my career is booming, my private life is in chaos, and I was even exposed to associate with two women at the same time.

But after marrying Laurena, Jobs never had any gossip again.

She became the favorite woman in Jobs' life.

The two met in a lecture at Stanford University, when Jobs came to stanford graduate school of business as a special guest to give a speech to the students.

Photos of Jobs when he was young △

That night, Laurena, who had nothing to do, was dragged to a lecture by her classmates. As a result, the two found that all the seats were full, and only three seats in the first row were reserved.

"I didn't think so much at the time, so I sat with my friends." Laurena recalled, "When Jobs arrived later, he was guided to sit next to me."

In order to make the atmosphere less awkward, Laurena said with a smile that she was able to sit here because she won the lottery and the prize was to have dinner with Jobs.

Unexpectedly, after the speech, Jobs really chased her out and asked her if she wanted to have dinner together.

Laurena agreed.

They walked into a fashionable vegetarian restaurant in Palo Alto and stayed there for four hours.

After they came out, they became a couple very tacitly.

It can be said that Laurena is definitely not an idle person who can make Jobs a boyfriend in four hours.

They dated for several years, and then they got married in Yosemite National Park.

Jobs is a man with a bad temper. Even he himself said that he was not an easy target.

But the arrival of Laurena made his heart gentle and firm.

Under the persuasion of Laurena, he took over the daughter born to his high school girlfriend and gave her the best education.

He even forgave his biological mother for abandoning her when she was very young, telling her, "Don't be sad, I'm doing fine now."

He returned to Apple after the crisis and created a series of miracles.

She accompanied him through the ups and downs of life, and he regarded her as his soul mate.

Because of the same knowledge, she can understand everything he says; Because they are vegetarians, she can understand his religious beliefs.

Every time Jobs prepares for the press conference, the PPT will play Laurena first. She will also be consulted on some important decisions.

After marrying Jobs, Laurena not only became the woman behind Jobs.

She started her own organic food company and was one of the founders of organic food in the United States. Invest in real estate and build your own business empire.

I thought life would go on like this.

But in 2003, Jobs was unfortunately diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The news came as a bolt from the blue for the whole apple.

Just when Apple was "unstable", Laurena stepped forward and stood firmly on Jobs' side.

While helping Jobs to work, she took Jobs to seek medical advice and encouraged him to stand up again.

Apple designer Johnny Iver said, "Laurena is like a beautiful tiger, protecting Jobs."

In order to get the best treatment for Jobs, Laurena collects and analyzes all kinds of medical data by herself every day.

Moreover, she must stay in the ward all day and stare at every monitor warily to prevent mistakes. ......

Because of his illness, Jobs lost weight bit by bit and his energy became less and less.

Laurena is also getting haggard.

But she knew she couldn't fall down because there was no one behind her.

In order to treat Jobs' illness, the two spent a huge sum of money, but no amount of money could save Jobs' life.

On their 20th wedding anniversary, Jobs passed away.

Before he left, he left a love letter to Laurena:

Twenty years ago, we met as strangers. But even if you just follow your heart, you have fascinated me;

Twenty years later, we had children, had good times and had difficulties, but the time with you was never bad.

Our love and respect for each other is growing day by day.

We have traveled too much together and experienced too much together. Now we seem to be back where we started 20 years ago. But getting older and smarter.

Wrinkles have crept up our cheeks and hearts. We have seen through many joys, pains, secrets and miracles in life, but we are still together.

As long as you are here, I have been flying in the sky of love, and my feet have never fallen back to the ground.

Laurena became Jobs' favorite, not only because of her beautiful face and high education.

In Jobs' view, the biggest difference between Laurena and other women is that she and Jobs are not only evenly matched, but also that she is someone he can rely on when he is weak.

She is not only his wife, but also his armor.

From big boss to big boss.

After Steve Jobs died, it took Laurena four years to heal the pain.

But after all, she is laurene powell, a woman on an equal footing with Jobs. She won't allow herself to be in a state of collapse for a long time.

Laurena began to pay attention to social welfare.

She founded the "Super School Program" to help poor teenagers enter universities, and countless poor children have changed their lives because of this project.

She also founded the Emerson Foundation. This foundation has helped countless disadvantaged children gain educational opportunities, helped media and newspapers with questionable income, and given these valuable media and newspapers a new life.

Later, the Emerson Foundation also established a website called "Dreams Now" to support teenagers who are illegal immigrants to obtain legal status, so as to promote relevant bills.

Laurena's charity is developing. Because of her influence in the field of immigration and education, Trump specially invited her to the White House to discuss immigration policy after taking office.

Jobs changed people's lives with technology, and Laurena changed countless people's lives with education.

But from beginning to end, her attitude towards money is very firm, and she has repeatedly said that it is wrong and unfair for individuals to accumulate wealth equivalent to millions of people.

"I am proud of this. My relationship with money is that it is a tool to achieve self-reliance, but it is not part of me. "

I don't know if the death of Jobs made Laurena suddenly understand that no amount of money can buy life, so it is better to help more people in need.

Therefore, she did not regret this decision, but changed the world a little bit with her own strength again and again, and went further and further on this road. ...

Now, 56-year-old Laurena has her own career, and their relationship has entered a new stage.

She is busier than before, but she enjoys her present life.

From big boss to big boss, Laurena has become the envy of all women.

Even if she is not Jobs' wife, she can have a brilliant life. Because of her outstanding self-reliance ability, she is destined to become an extraordinary woman.

Finally, I summed it up with a sentence that Laurena herself said:

"Do what you want to do and leave a permanent mark that you think is important, then life will not be wasted."
