Inspirational Person Inspiration. Its Exact definition is a ‘ a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul’. It is very likely that without inspiration this world would be in complete and utter ruin. People like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jnr have inspired millions of people across the globe. However the Person who is the subject of this essay may be unknown to many people. However I believe that he is just as important as Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King. The Man I am going to write about is Tim Cook The CEO of Apple. This is his story.

Tim Cook was born in Mobile, Alabama on the First of November 1960. His Father was a shipyard worker, his mother a pharmacist. Young Tim was like any other boy of his age. He graduated went to college and then got a job. Cook’s first job was at the Company IMB where he was the Director of North American Fulfilment. Eventually word of this young man reached The CEO of Apple Steve Jobs. In 1998 Jobs asked Cook to come and work for Apple. His First Job in Apple was a The SVP for World Wide Operations. Later he said of his job "You kind of want to manage it like you're in the dairy business. If it gets past its freshness date, you have a problem". Tim Cook got rid of factories and warehouse and replace them with contract manufactures causing a reduction of the company’s inventory. Thanks to this the company manage to keep a stable supply of their products. In 2009 Cook was promoted to COO and served as CEO while Jobs took a leave of absence for his health. In 2011 after Jobs’ Death, the Board elected Cook as his successor. In 2011 a rumour went round that Cook was Gay. These rumours were confirmed in a ground Breaking Interview in Bloomberg Business Week. In it he says "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me. He thus became the First Gay CEO of A Fortune 500 Company.

Tim Cook has many defining qualities that make him who he is. One of these is Kindness. When Steve Jobs fell ill with pancreatic cancer, Cook offered to give him a portion of his liver since they both share the same blood type. Although Job’s refused, this demonstrates Cooks willingness to help others in any way possible. Another characteristic of Cook is he has a big heart which is demonstrated by his announcement in 2015 that he would donate his entire fortune to Charity. Cook has also increased Appel’s support of charities. Another point is his bravery which is demonstrated by telling Apple Share Holders to "get out of the stock" if they didn't share the company's views on sustainability and climate change. Throughout his life Tim Cook has battled against adversity ,hatred ,greed and he has seen them all off. Tim Cook isa truly inspirational Human Being
