While Jobs built some of the more venerable brands in the zeitgeist today (Apple, Pixar) and created mobile devices that drive social media use, there’s another insight that emerged over the course of this 600-page journey. It’s what made Steve Jobs Steve Jobs. It’s also a key business skill that’s rarely addressed directly and that is focus. Laser-like, precision focus on what you want and how you can get there. As a young, college drop-out, Jobs worked on an apple-growing commune. His job? Pruning the tree branches so they would grow stronger. In many ways, “the Steve Jobs school of business leadership” is one of understanding focus.Focused Work Teams,Focused Design,Focus on Details,Focus on What’s Next,Focus on Ideas, Not Presentations,Focus on the Customer Experience.
I was experiencing the feeling of paradox after reading the book. I felt my eyes wet when I read his stories, about how Mr. Jobs was able to overcome the challenges in life. These are challenges that I, you, and a lot of us will never encountered, but I understand how it must feel to be in the middle of the situations, and how it must feel being hopeless. This understanding has led me to the being moved by Steve Jobs’s bra一veness and persistence. The power of his dream had proved beyond anything, illness, unfairness and death. He continued to love his career even after being diagnosed cancer, and used his power and strengths to change the world by changing how all of us see it.
He was a nerd, a crazy man, a paranoid, but there was no evidence that would show him not being one of the greatest man in human history. Even though people found themselves tired working with Mr. Jobs (he was such a paranoid), they loved him, as he could bring the novelty to this world and make a difference. To the great man who changed the world with mac and ipod, to the hero of the electronic industry, to Steve Jobs, you will always be my hero.
Today, I introduced the book, will let everyone know such a person: he brought us the iPhone, iPad, iMac, redefined the PC and cell phone; creates iPod and iTunes, revived the entire music industry; establish the Pixar, created a miracle of digital images; the company set up in their own garage now the market value has reached about 700 billion US dollars; becoming the worlds most valuable company; and if it is not because of the fault of the board of directors forced him to leave the Apple, he will rule the entire electronics industry. He, once again changing our lives, again and again changing the world. He is Steve Jobs.
Many people say that Steve Jobs is a shrewd businessman, an IQ superior technology worker. Compared with his remarkable commercial, scientific and technological achievements, but I read Jobs from the book as an artist, just from the love of art and beauty, he create his own products as a work of art, rather than just a cell phone, a computer.
In order to determine the radian of computer case, he and his team members discussed almost a month. A menu bar, the engineers to do 20 times to meet his demands. He wants all windows are rounded rectangles, but in terms of technology at that time, too difficult. So jobs with engineers go three blocks and find out 17 examples of the rounded rectangle. Engineers finally convinced solved this difficult problem. Mr. Jobs also want to use beautiful fonts inApple computer. He recruited designer and lead design dozens of font, spent a lot of time and research and development funds. So he was Apples board of directors warned repeatedly. A board member and even shouted angrily "font? Cant we have no more important things?" Eventually, of course, Mr. Jobs lead the team to launch the Macintosh.The world is surprised, and no one thought that the computer can be so simple, so rich in beauty. In the book, more of my feeling is quite deep, the pursuit of jobs is not only a product of art, but also the art of life. Because I couldnt find his recognition of furniture, the whole room is only a desk lamp. In life, he thought, everything, every item, should be filled with artistic feeling. Is also for this reason, he would be rather for your own dream adventure, will not follow suit manufacturing products.
Jobs’ life is short, but he has to emit their own light. His life has become a remembered by one piece of art.
We may be unable to change the world like Steve Jobs, but we should like him to pursue the art of life. Life is short, in a short life, we should be in their own way to live out their own style. We should not only learn to listen to the opinions of others, and to understand when should insist on your point of view, and insist on the best as I do, and not easily compromise to reality. You know, life is the choice of countless, in limited life, why not choose something we think is worth? Now that we have come to this world, why not let life become more delicate? Why not let the dream become more splendid?
Steve Jobs once said: "There are numerous things to do in life, and now we have chosen this one thing, let us make it a classic." Lets remember this sentence.
