Former Jobs this great man, I do not have much understanding, but since read the "Jobs" This book after I on his deep admiration, and admiration. Jobs dedication, innovative spirit of Steve Jobs and his perfectionist, never yielding to the spirit I was very impressed. I most admire Steve Jobs's words: "We should not live for others, we live is to change the world." Indeed, Steve Jobs does change the world, he changed not only the world of technology, it is people's knowledge, needs and desires. Jobs through his own innovative spirit and a perfectionist, and lead he founded Apple, and Apple employees have once again successfully developed new products to win the match, to overcome difficulties, so Apple from a garage processing Square all the way developed into a world of large companies.
It is said that three Apple changed the world, the first temptation of Eve, the second hit awake Newton, and the third in the control of Steve Jobs. Apple, the world's technology trends mark the word, the whole world is fascinated brand. However, to make it with today's brilliant, only Steve Jobs. It was only Steve Jobs, innovation and inspiration embodied in the product; it was only Steve Jobs, with strong marketing skills, as long as he understood the thing, can be introduced in the easiest way to give ordinary people listen; it was only Steve Jobs, in order to pursue their dreams and career peak in the Mercedes-Benz. His miracle is that no one can be replicated, no one can surpass.
Speaking Jobs, you will naturally think that one was bitten Apple logo, of course, you will also like the iPod, iPhone and iPad he brought, perhaps you will be the envy of his success and wealth, but we should study Jobs walked the streets, thinking the key to his success.
Jobs road to success is not all the way to smooth sailing, people's eyes, he is not perfect. His pursuit of the perfect spirit of innovation and the firm determination to change the world, the world moved and shocked. Now are looking to maintain its innovative edge, the whole world and strive to build a creative way the digital age economy, Jobs became the ultimate symbol of creativity, imagination, and continuous innovation. He knew of the 21st century to create value The best way is to combine creativity and technology. "If you live each day as if life is the last day, then, one day you will think this is the right. "Life is a battle in the eyes of Steve Jobs, this slightly paranoid beliefs, incentive in innovation on the road, he will never stop.
Jobs lost his own and created the company out of the door can be imagined, however, is a big and difficult to stop him, he would not give up, because he is Steve Jobs, "go ahead "will never disappear from the Steve Jobs who He desperate to take away from Apple's four defectors, he founded NeXT, and willing to spend heavily for its design a perfect logo, he acquired Pixar and painstaking design animation program , but the NeXT and Pixar eventually let him gain a wealth ... Although through ups and downs, he also became famous because NeXT's excellent operating system, and Pixar's near perfect a few animated films continue. Finally, with their own strength, he returned to Apple and again to save Apple.
Today, every Apple launch a new product, the "powder" all over the world frantically rush when people are surprised by Jobs's continued success, and what language to praise him can not be overstated. But, go back and search for the way he walked, you will find that this is not smooth sailing. Pursuit of prowess, he does not hesitate to pay all costs, do not fear any failure. In the way of innovation, he had the board out of the Apple of his own and founded 13 years; he founded NeXT loss to almost annihilated; he acquired and devoted a lot of effort Pixar in the early also almost been abandoned by Disney ...
Jobs, with their never admit defeat the spirit of perfectionism, innovative spirit and build the Apple Optimus Prime, he impressed allow people to use their own personal charm, his indomitable will and the disease nearly years of struggle, he is a great figure is no exaggeration, because he did allow opponents impressed, so that people respected, October 15, 2011, he passed away, but his spirit will stay forever in Apple, Wing in the world!
You are Your Own Boss
What Steve Jobs wanted to convey was “Follow your own course and let people talk”. It’s a wise choice that believing yourself, then be yourself.
Thinking patterns of most people are great challenges for a creative society. As we all know, it’s difficult to go behind those stereotypes when we deal with things at its most commonplace. Even someone coming up with innovative ideas soon gives up owing to others’ doubts. As far as I am concerned, firstly, everybody should have his own judgment no matter how foolish it seems like in others’ eyes. Secondly, he should try his best to tell its authenticity. A significant number of scientists, taken the world over, devote their whole life to pursuing their own dreams. Giordano Bruno, for instance, he believed that his theory was correct paying the price of his life. His theory has gained appreciation nowadays. Without creative ideas and courage, Steve Jobs couldn’t gain a field in this competitive society.
As a graduate student, creative ideas are essential. You should have courage to doubt everything. Considering all facts and possibilities, your own judgment could be gained. Besides, you should not be subdued by others’ different opinions. The best choice is to persuade others through your studies. All in all, you are your own boss, so follow your heart and try your best to realize it. Then, you will make a difference.
