Steve Jobs

During the summer vacation, I read the book "The Biography of Steven Jobs" on the recommendation of my teacher. I have heard about Steve Jobs for a long time, and he has always been one of the celebrities I admire, so I was deeply touched after reading this book.

Before reading this book, Steve Jobs in my mind was an extremely creative, polite, smart, mature, and calm person. But after reading this book, I have a deeper perception and understanding of the great Apple founder.

A passionate madman

Some people say that his "reality-distorting force field" was one of the reasons for his success. In my eyes, this is a manifestation of passion. He was never afraid of difficulties or failure. Whenever he and his team hit a roadblock, as was the case when the Mac team was demoralized by the lack of time, he used his "reality distortion force field" and his passion and true feelings to deliver a speech in front of the entire team, and the result was predictable: the Mac team broke through the limits and was released on time. His madness and passion were also evident in his launch events: a device with features that others saw as near-impossible, but a passionate speech at the launch event that made people cheer and believe in their product. Even many journalists thought that Steve Jobs was a passionate madman!

Genius creativity

In such a 5G network era, it may be hard to imagine what electronic devices looked like in the 1950s, but I do know that Steve Jobs' existence revolutionized people's perception of electronic information, and his ideas have been used to this day, showing that his creativity was far above the norm. Apple's "graphical user interface" was the foundation of the new era of the computer revolution, the Mac was the beginning of this revolution, and the creation of the I series was a symbol of the victory of this revolution. The electronic devices and ideas created by the Apple industry are unquestionable testament to Jobs' creative genius.

Perfectionist

His perfectionism was evident both in his work and in his life. He believed in treating everything as either a success or nothing at all. He chooses the former of these two extremes and takes it to the extreme. He works on products that he's perfected that must perform exactly as he wants them to, during which arguments are essential. As a perfectionist, if one of his arguments doesn't convince someone, he will skillfully switch to another one. Sometimes, he will suddenly not take someone else's point of view for himself, to prove that his perfectionist point of view is perfect and correct, to convince others. The most striking sign of his life is his extreme fussiness about food. He is a vegetarian, so he naturally eats much less than the average person, and is extremely picky about the vegetables and fruits he can eat. And any food will immediately make an extreme evaluation: beautiful or terrible, if it seems the same as the same food he will taste a bite to declare: one is the world's most delicious and the other is difficult to swallow, which can be described as "perfectionism" to the extreme it.

As Steve Jobs said: perhaps they are in the eyes of others crazy, but they are the eyes of our genius. Because only those who are so crazy that they think they can change the world can change the world. May we march forward with the spirit of Steve Jobs!
So we should learn from him.
