Lessons to be learned from the life of Steve Jobs

There are many things about the life of Steve Jobs that we may want to know out of curiosity. But there are lessons to be learned from Jobs’s thoughts and business behaviors that will be more useful for us to know.

1. Think big

Read this sentence ten times and think about it once. Jobs always insisted that we should not be stingy in dreaming. Because the more desires you have, the more forces inside and outside you will try to achieve them. Big demands make big actions, and you can change the world by doing one big thing.

2. Do not do what you do not like

What would you like to do at this moment? Sometimes we ask others so much in shaping our desires and decisions that the outcome of those conversations no longer resembles our heart’s desires. Our only mission is to do the right thing that we want, and what can have as many positive effects on human life as the lofty goal behind our heart force?

3. There are several methods for a goal

“Jobs at Pixar pursued a policy of non-interference and never interfered in the affairs of filmmakers,” said Floyd Norman, a Walt Disney animator. “He was so smart that he did not bother the artists, unlike most top executives.”

Some of Steve Jobs’s colleagues say that in some cases, he was very self-centered and had unusual reactions to certain events, but it is clear that he knew his position and wisely chose the best way to get the best result. Jobs was also aware that sometimes undiscovered methods target us much better than tried and tested methods.

4. We do not have much time

“We don’t have a lot of time to do repetitive tasks, and we have to put all our energy into what we do right now,” says Jobs. Life is short, and our time ends one day. “So it’s better to value the opportunity we have been given. ”

5. Beauty is in simplicity

Steve Jobs loved the phrase ” Keep It Simple” and put a lot of emphasis on keeping products simple in designing Apple products. He believed that simplicity is much more difficult than complexity because you can overcome complexity and reach it easily after spending a long time thinking about design.

6. Listen to yourself

The truth is that many people are chosen to do great things, but few people do great things. Maybe Steve Jobs can be placed in both categories. Beyond all the good and bad qualities, Jobs was an ordinary person who took his inner voice out of all the voices of the world and tried to accomplish that great work.

7. Think differently

Think Different ( Think Different) is the title of one of the most successful business campaigns that Apple has imagined, and its symbol can be considered Steve Jobs. Jobs paid close attention to detail and had a golden sentence: “If you do not pay enough attention to something, it will be lost. “Focusing on anything requires saying no. ” Say a resounding no to everything that matters, and create your world somewhere beyond the hustle and bustle of people.

8. Today is the last day of my life

Sometimes I stand in front of a mirror and ask myself if this is the last day I’m alive, am I happy to die now? If my answer is no, something is wrong, and I’m not ready yet. “This short inner conversation dispels the fear of losing, and I realize that nothing is so valuable that it prevents me from achieving my heart’s desire. ”

Closing remarks by Steve Jobs at Stanford University (2005)

“Everyone is afraid of death, even those who like to go to heaven. I’m not very interested in being dramatic, but in reality, our time is limited, and life is much more unpredictable than we think. So rather than wait, dare to take the steps your heart desires.

When I was younger, there was a magazine called The Whole Earth Catalog that I liked. On the back cover of the latest issue of this magazine was a morning view of a mountain that caught the attention of any adventurer. Below that photo was written: Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish means stay hungry, stay stupid. “I always want to learn more and be eager to discover new things, which is my wish for you.”
