He is among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it.
——President Barack Obama
We all known that steve jobs is a great man, today my topic is not about what he have achieved, but why he could achieve this great succe.
Of course there are many reasons for his succe, and today I summarize a few of them to share with you.
The first reason: He has a High ideal to change the world
He wants to change the world, that’s why he started apple and he returned apple 10 years later after ousted by an internal power struggle.He is always full of paion because he is doing what he believe is great work which he can change the world by his own hands.There is an example, in 1983, Jobs want to invite the exceo of pepsi John Sculley to be the ceo of apple, however, it was rather difficult, but when jobs said this to Sculley, he finally agreed.Well, what did jobs said?? He said:” you want to sell sugar water all your lifetime or to change the world?”
The second reason: Steve Jobs is a perfectionist
Steve Jobs is a perfectionist, he pays an obseive attention to detail, he will notice every very small details.For example, when apple design iphone, designers gave jobs hundreds different colors to let him choose.There are only very small differences among each color, but he was not satisfied with any of them after he had compared carefully and let designers continue to find a proper color.
He is such a perfectionist that many of his employees do not understand, but it is this pursuit for perfection that makes apple so succeful.
The third reason c: he can forecast industry trends
“visionary”, that’s the judgement president obama made on jobs.In 1970s, steve jobshas been almost the first to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling computers to ordinary people.He always said that the apple represents the future and he also tried his best to make it come ture.Now, obviously, he made it.Therefore, whether the idea of steve jobs or his apple is always ahead of time for 2 or 3 years.
The fourth reason: jobs has a very good eloquence
I believe that we were all impreed by speeches of steve jobs.He can be endle to convince investors to invest in apple, and he can also introduce the latest products of apple like a star.In a word, the eloquence of jobs also helps apple a lot.
Ok, these are four reasons I summarized for the succe of steve jobs and his apple.Of course there are more other reasons:
create a new busine model
good at identifying opportunities
good at identify talented people
……
Well, at last, let me show you several famous saying of him:
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven\'t found it yet, keep looking.Don\'t settle.As with all matters of the heart, you\'ll know when you find it.
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
We\'re here to put a dent in the universe.Otherwise why else even be here?
