20xx1October 6th, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and a legend in the IT field, passed away. 654381October 24th, The Biography of Steve Jobs was a global bestseller. The author of this book is writer WalterIsaacson. He has had more than 40 face-to-face exchanges with Jobs in the past two years, and his comments on Jobs have exceeded 100. Isaacson is the former editor-in-chief of Time magazine, the chairman and CEO of CNN, and the author of bestsellers such as Einstein, Kissinger and Franklin.
The Biography of Jobs shows the real Jobs to the outside world. Compared with his dazzling success, he experienced ups and downs, and his success was not smooth sailing. He is aloof, selfish, indifferent and stubborn, and is used to lies and betrayal. But he's not afraid. Under the guidance of his deep ideals, he insisted on fighting every day as the last day of his life, and his works were full of creativity. It was this complicated man who finally succeeded. Jobs was an illegitimate child and was adopted by his adoptive parents in his early years. When I was a teenager, I was extremely rebellious and liked the Beatles. I once dropped out of school on drugs. When I traveled to India as an adult, I became interested in Buddhism and Zen, and finally I studied in Japan. During college, Jobs met Woz, the most important partner in his life. 1976, Jobs, who was only 2 1 year old, and Woz, who was 26 years old, set up a computer company. This is the world-famous Apple Company. Their career began with the design and manufacture of the first circuit board, and thus they accumulated the first bucket of gold. 1980, Apple went public on Wall Street. Overnight, Jobs became a young billionaire. Later, with the development of the enterprise, he became the cover figure of Time magazine in the United States. However, in 1985, due to frequent mistakes in decision-making, Jobs left Apple and set up NEXT Company, which achieved good results. 1986, Pixar Animation Studio was acquired and established, and the world's first 3D cartoon toy story was produced, which opened the era of 3D animation. During 1996, when Apple was heavily in debt, Jobs resolutely returned to Apple, saved the enterprise he founded, and turned Apple into a profit through reform. Now Apple's reputation is even better than before, creating brilliance.
Jobs's great success is inseparable from his unique character of going forward without fear of failure, the idea of thinking for customers and the innovative genetic knowledge flowing in his blood:
First, not afraid of failure:
Jobs never gave up his inner pursuit and kept trying and working hard. This is his indomitable tenacity. 1985 Jobs left Apple, the company he founded, because of a disagreement with the management. He was just 30 years old that year, and the blow was devastating for almost anyone. However, he did not sink from there. He pulled himself together, founded NEXT, and later bought Pixar. Although the NEXT company fluctuated and didn't improve much, Pixar company created the brilliance of digital animation. Later, after NEXT was acquired by Apple, he returned to Apple and was ordered to recreate Apple's revival myth. He loves innovation and has unparalleled creativity, which makes him continue to succeed after repeated failures. When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he had only a few weeks to live, he said that there was nothing like death to concentrate. In a speech at Stanford University in 2005, he said: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die in that place. However, death is the end of our common destiny. No one can escape. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living other people's lives. Don't be trapped by dogma, just live according to the results of others' thinking. Don't let other people's opinions drown out your inner voice. Above all, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They don't know who you really want to be. Everything else is secondary. What he said better explained that his success was the courage to stick to his inner voice and intuition and make unremitting efforts for it. His words are also an inspiration to me.
Second, the concept of customer service:
Jobs paid more attention to the user experience while paying attention to the product function. His aesthetic design concept and his pursuit of simplicity and convenience in product design have won many loyal followers for Apple products all over the world. In order to release the shackles of mobile phone buttons and let users experience the pleasure brought by full-screen operation, iPhone was born. When Jobs first proposed to design a mobile phone with only one button, even Apple engineers found it a bit difficult to achieve. Jobs once accused Larry, who was in charge of designing the operating system for Mac computers, face to face. He thought that the startup speed of the Mac computer was too slow. Jobs asked Larry: If you can save a life, can you shorten the system startup time by 10 second? Larry doesn't understand how 10 second can save a life. Jobs listed on the whiteboard: If you sell 5 million Macs, it will take 10 seconds for each machine to turn on every day, which adds up to about 300 million minutes a year, and 300 million minutes is at least equivalent to 100 people's life! After listening to this, engineer Larry spent two weeks speeding up the system startup time by 28 seconds. Now, according to the Survey Report on Computer Unhealth in China issued by 360 Security Center, the average computer startup time in China is 56 seconds, while the normal computer startup time in the world is only 45 seconds, which is slower than the normal health level 1 1 second. It is this unremarkable 1 1 second that can waste 10 second every year. It is this concept of sincere service to customers that Apple will be loved and sincerely supported by users.
Third, innovative genes flowing in the blood:
Jobs firmly believed that users didn't know what they wanted. Ford famously said, if you ask people at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century what they want, they will never say it's a car, but they will say I want a faster horse. Another saying circulating repeatedly in the technical field comes from computer pioneer Allen. Opening: The way to predict the future is to invent the future. Jobs is undoubtedly a member of this camp. As early as the early days, personal computers had a difficult front panel, no screen and no keyboard. After AppleI, all computers have screens and keyboards, which makes human-computer interaction easier, makes computers easier to use, and makes computers a popular consumer product. It is too much trouble to operate the graphical interface only by keyboard, and mouse operation has been applied by Apple. Although the earliest mouse concept was not invented by Apple, it was Apple that really made the mouse a reality and changed the computer operation mode. It's too much trouble to have too many buttons on a mobile phone, so build a mobile phone with only one button. If you don't even bother to press the soft keyboard, let Siri of iphone4S help you. She will do anything for you as long as you speak. Apple has been creating miracles, and Jobs has really been creating the future. In his own words, living is to change the world.
What I described above is the spirit of Jobs. He is firm, not afraid of failure, brave in innovation and full of enthusiasm for his work. In my future work, I will take this spirit as a guide, face up to failure, love my career, sincerely serve the masses and make unremitting efforts.
No one is perfect. Jobs is not a saint. Sometimes he is mean and sometimes he speaks viciously. When Bill Gates showed Jobs the windows operating system he invented, Jobs made sarcastic remarks, which made windows look bad. Fortunately, Gates is also extraordinary, otherwise there would be no Microsoft today. He is not good at communication, and even Apple's system is influenced by him. It is a closed system with poor compatibility. These shortcomings are what I need to avoid and pay attention to in my work. The work of the instrument station believes in going out. Please come in and emphasize communication. Resource sharing is the road to harmonious development.
Finally, I encourage myself with a famous quote from Steve Jobs' speech at Stanford University: StayHungry and StayFoolish.
The experience of studying in university. Are you going to college to enjoy life or to shape yourself? In your college life, many students have reflected such a problem: I don't know what I want to do in a day, or I don't want to do anything. This is a common phenomenon among students who have just entered the university, because you have lost your goal. For many students, college is the last stage of your study. After finishing college, you have to find a job, but for students who have worked for 12 years, it still seems so out of reach. There are no teachers around you in the university. Whether you learn or not is entirely your own business. Without the homework you couldn't finish before, you think that class is empty for you. What if you study? What if you don't study? Instead of making yourself study so hard, let yourself live a little more freely. No one told you what to do, leaving you at a loss.
Most of you lack spiritual independence and good self-control, and you can't grasp these seemingly excessive freedoms at all. You don't know what kind of person you want to be or what kind of career you want to be. From the ideal of primary school, to the future of junior high school, to the university of high school, and then to the confusion of university, you have completed the transformation of your life goals in this process, and the last thing left is dead bugs. It's because you lost your goal. Without a ship without a direction, there is no downwind. I believe that if every student has a goal, you will live a full and busy life and gain a lot. So please set yourself a goal. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get!
Maybe someone will ask: why do I have to struggle painfully when others can live a chic life? I'll change it to another question: Does the university enjoy life or shape itself? When many students first entered the university, they had the experience of running for the offices and cadres of the student union and various societies. Afterwards, many students lamented: unfair, everything depends on the relationship. I would like to ask, if schools are still like this, what will society do? Doesn't society play politics, relationships and money more thoroughly? What makes you stand in society in the future? It doesn't matter if you want money. If you don't have money, what else? When you graduated from college, you suddenly found that you didn't learn really good skills except for getting a college diploma and talking about a seemingly abstruse topic. What you do may be just a nice name, or something that anyone can do. Will you still complain then? Each of us wants to live a high-quality life, to let our closest relatives live a carefree life, and to leave traces of our own value in the world, but these can not be achieved through enjoyment. God gave each of us hands and a brain to create and think. This period of time in college is your best study time, so please give up enjoyment, try to reshape yourself and save strength for the future takeoff.
As the saying goes, "tea is intoxicating, why drink it?" I don't need flowers because books can smell good. " We are eager to read and acquire knowledge, but we often have such doubts: how should we read? Since ancient times, people have acquired knowledge in various ways, and reading as a common, direct but very effective method of seeking knowledge has been used to this day.
Gorky put it well: books are the ladder of human progress. Since the beginning of the history of human civilization, a vast number of books have recorded the vast majority of human wisdom in arduous exploration, understanding and protection of nature, revealing the mysteries of nature and the laws governing the development of human society.
In order to make reading achieve better results, I am good at using my brain to find the "eyes" of the articles I read, and also write reading notes and feelings after reading. Of course, thinking is the most important thing for reading to have a good effect, but as the saying goes, "Good memory is not as good as bad writing", sorting out the results of thinking and writing them into notes and feelings will not only help us think, but also help us remember the results of thinking, which is convenient for comparison, synthesis and analysis in the future.
Goethe said that whoever lags behind the times will bear all the pains of that era. Especially in today's era of knowledge explosion, if you are not exposed to new knowledge, you will be eliminated by the times.
It is more important for us to learn new knowledge to face new challenges. It can provide us with spiritual motivation and intellectual support. As Gorky said, nothing is more powerful than knowledge, and people armed with knowledge are invincible.
First, reading can make us look at the problem from a higher level, so as to make fewer mistakes and detours.
Newton said that he could achieve such great achievements because he stood on the shoulders of giants and saw farther. This great scientist is naturally worth learning, and we can learn more valuable things from him. Books are to mankind as memory is to individuals. Books record human history, all new discoveries, accumulated knowledge and experience in ancient and modern times. Only by carefully studying the experience and theory of predecessors can we look at the problem from a higher height and avoid making the same mistakes again, so as to have a higher starting point. Books are the crystallization of predecessors' wisdom and the embodiment of their research achievements and experiences. By learning from them, we can find something useful to ourselves. On the basis of predecessors' experience, we will constantly improve ourselves and greatly promote personal growth. To a large extent, it can be said that the continuation and development of human society is also achieved in this way. Imagine that if everyone starts from scratch, then no matter how great people make great contributions, human society will eventually stagnate. This shows the importance of reading.
Second, reading broadens people's horizons.
The knowledge in the book is all-encompassing, which can broaden our horizons and make our knowledge more comprehensive. So I can think deeply. Everything is widely related. Many modern practices have proved the relevance of all kinds of information. If you only know the information in one field, it will inevitably hinder your own development and master more knowledge, thus minimizing the uncertain risks in the future. Just as people who do stocks need to understand the current political and economic situation, they can better analyze the stock trend. Scholars who study physics must have a certain foundation in chemistry in order to achieve something. I remember a Nobel Prize winner once said in a speech at Fudan University that modern science has no obvious boundaries, and you must know something about it. In this respect, the great tutor Engels is a model of extensive study. Although he only went to middle school, he was able to speak and write articles in 12 languages at the age of 19 because of his hard work. After taking part in work practice, he never stopped studying and researching, so he was called a real encyclopedia by Marx. Extensive and profound knowledge is of great help to Engels in guiding the international proletarian movement and accurately spreading the scientific proletarian theory. From its experience, we can appreciate the power of knowledge, and we can also appreciate the great role of books as a powerful weapon for human beings to master the power of knowledge.
Share the fun of reading Sanmao's works with me.
The experience of studying in university. When I first read "University", I was in a fog and had a little knowledge, which made me feel very boring. After reading it, I only remember the first sentence at the beginning, "The way of university is clear in virtue, clear in new knowledge, and stop at perfection", and by the way, I left the impression of "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world". Generally speaking, I read "University" and Bingxin read "The Three Kingdoms", both of which are picked up and put down, and put down and picked up. Reading "University" again made me deeply understand what it means to read a book a hundred times. This reading gave me a wake-up call, but the 2000-word article can be described as comprehensive and profoundly reveals the truth of life.
Generally speaking, the overall framework of a university is constructed with "three cardinal principles and eight aims". The so-called three cardinal guides mean to point out morality, new people and perfection. It is not only the program purport of "University", but also the goal of "teaching from the world" of Confucianism. The so-called "eight eyes" refers to discipline, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. It is not only an introductory kung fu designed to realize the "three cardinal guides", but also a life learning ladder displayed by Confucianism. In the process of learning and understanding step by step, my heart is very shocking. To sum up, I have three deepest feelings:
One is "Know what to stop". The poem says, "A wild yellow bird stops at the corner of the mountain." Ziri: "Stop and you will know what it is. You can be a person instead of a bird! " "The poem says," King Mumuwen, stop at Ji Xi! "A gentleman stops at benevolence; Being a minister ends with respect; Being a son stops at filial piety; Being a father stops at kindness; Make friends with China people and end with a letter. " Know what to stop, that is, know where you should stop. In layman's terms, it is to find your own position. However, the world is long, passers-by are in a hurry, and how many people drift with the tide all their lives, I don't know where to stop. There are too many temptations and opportunities in life now, which brings people the confusion of choice. Many people don't know what they should do and become spiritual vagrants. In fact, different identities and people have different "stop losses". The key is to find the position and role that suits you best, which can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, know what you want to do and what you can do, and keep moving towards the goal.
Second, it is "learning from the classics." What is "learning from things"? The way to acquire knowledge is to know and study everything, that is to say, to acquire knowledge, we must contact things and study their principles deeply. "University" advocates an attitude of lifelong learning and continuous practice. Throughout the history of the Middle Ages, scholars have a very strict attitude towards learning. They are respectful and conscientious in their research, almost with a devotion to knowledge. This devotion to learning is hard to find in today's scholars. This is a kind of seriousness and seriousness regardless of utility. There are too many impetuous people in the society now, and fewer and fewer people settle down to do things; More and more people study once, and fewer and fewer people hold the concept of lifelong learning. Fast-food learning has become a trend. In this case, we need to study cautiously, practically, seriously and continuously, establish the concept of lifelong learning, constantly improve ourselves, and never lose ourselves in the trend of the times.
Third, a gentleman does his best. The extremes of doing everything are misinterpreted today and become derogatory terms. Its original intention is to pursue a perfect moral realm. The Great University declares that "being loyal to one's heart, being sincere in one's intentions and being cautious about one's independence" are all ways to pursue a perfect moral realm. The ancients attached great importance to moral cultivation, and they put forward strict to almost harsh requirements for their moral cultivation. "There are Fijian gentlemen, such as cutting, cutting, grinding."
This paper expounds that the ancients polished their moral cultivation like a bone machine and constantly learned from each other's strengths. Such as polishing beautiful jade, pondering repeatedly. On the other hand, at present, moral deficiency has become a social topic, and it is very sad that you can see all kinds of reports of moral deficiency by opening the news casually. In this case, we should improve our moral cultivation, make contributions to socialist moral construction, and raise our cultivation to a new level.
There is too much content in the university. For example, a sentence "The book of the university is the way to teach people in ancient universities."
The experience of studying in university. A short university of more than 2,000 words has profoundly expounded the university problems of life and society, as well as the highest realm of learning. Learning is not about a specific technology, and it is not limited to mundane trivial matters. Learning lies in distinguishing right from wrong in the world, promoting social progress and setting an example for people all over the world. "The gentleman moves and the world is the way of the world, the world is the way of the world, and the world is the way of the world."
"The new is new, and the new is new." Imagine, if you can really achieve "three rescues a day", it is not difficult to be moral, close to the people and perfect; At the same time, it is not difficult to be self-disciplined, knowledgeable, sincere, upright and perfect.
I once heard the story of Mr. Ji Xianlin, saying that Mr. Ji was often regarded as an old worker in school because of his extremely simple clothes. Teacher Ji will be stopped by freshmen who come to report for duty and look after their luggage more than once. Mr Ji always looks after their luggage in the same place, sometimes for two hours at a time. These students will see President Ji Xianlin sitting on the rostrum at the orientation meeting of Peking University in a couple of days. What a simple and noble personality charm! If all our teachers have the manner of respecting elders like Mr. Ji Xianlin and practice morality, why worry that the students they teach have no noble moral character, and why worry that our family and society are not harmonious? As long as our teachers truly understand the "university way" of "being well-known, being close to the people and stopping at perfection" and the way of "cultivating oneself, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world", they can guide students to "be kind", help the world and stop at perfection.
My mind is full of poems and books. As teachers, although the teaching subjects are different, it is undeniable that teachers' professional literacy and cultural literacy are mutually inclusive, and rich accumulation is a booster for teachers' professional growth. To paraphrase others: Be a wise man with a cultural background. As long as our teachers are broad-minded and broad-minded, they will not be limited and rigid when studying, researching and doing things. Only by knowing and understanding things can we have a deeper understanding. I think this may be the biggest revelation of "University" to all of us!
"University", Shu Lang opened my eyes, beautiful my soul and enriched my life.
The experience of studying in university 6 "University" teaches us to do things for others. I remember that I came into contact with the Four Books and Five Classics, an ancient China classic, in my middle school days, but it was only to understand its cultural background, composition and general content, which was no different from a glimpse. I was lucky enough to study the "University" in depth during this holiday, and then I realized the profound philosophy of dealing with people, and I saw more clearly how to move forward in my future life, so as to truly contribute to the prosperity of the motherland and the happiness and well-being of the people, and make my life valuable and meaningful!
Throughout the ages, many people with lofty ideals have been aiming high since childhood. In order to realize their brilliant dreams and lofty aspirations and find the true meaning and meaning of life, they have spent their whole lives. At the beginning of "University", it is said that the way of a university lies in showing virtue, being close to the people and stopping at perfection. Zhi Zhi then decided: calm down first and then be quiet; Be quiet before you can be safe; Worry first; Think about it before you take it.
Things start and end, and things end. If you know the order, you will find a shortcut. What is shown here is the pursuit of the three cardinal guides and eight aims of Confucianism. Three cardinal guides and eight aims are the program, purpose and main project of the university. Looking through the Four Books and Five Classics, we find that all Confucian theories actually develop along these three cardinal principles and eight orders. Therefore, the opening of "University" is also the avenue and essence of dealing with people.
Ming Mingde explained the importance of strengthening moral self-improvement, exploring the source of goodness in one's own nature, abandoning the temptation of evil, and carrying forward the aboveboard character in human nature to cultivate one's morality, and the purpose of erudition is nothing more than that.
People-friendly, combined with the following ideas, day after day, day after day, emphasizing the importance of continuous innovation, strengthening ideological revolution, making people abandon the old for the new, and eliminating evil for the good. By extension, spiritual baptism, moral cultivation and ideological transformation are all different. The spirit bath is the spirit of bathing with snow in Zhuangzi's Journey to the North and the virtue of bathing with the body in the Book of Rites.
On the other hand, it is the innovative attitude displayed day after day, which drives people to abandon the old and seek the new. To stop at perfection means that the purpose of erudition is to make people reach the most perfect state, which is confirmed by the life experiences of countless philosophers.
Man has been struggling all his life because he knows what to stop, that is, what he is fighting for, where he should stop and where he belongs. As the saying goes: Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards. Birds still know how to find a forest to live in. How can people not know where they should stay? Therefore, the country is thousands of miles away, but the people stop. Metropolis and its suburbs have been places where people yearn for and live together since ancient times, but this is only what they know, not what they mean.
The essence of Confucian classics is spiritual Zhi Zhi, that is, to stop at perfection. This is easier said than done. Heaven and earth are long, passers-by are in a hurry, and many people drift with the tide all their lives, and they don't know where to go, especially in today's era, there are too many temptations and opportunities in life, which brings people confusion in choosing. For example, I used to be nothing, but I studied very high.
The reader's mentality is balanced, maybe he knows what to do. However, after entering the market economy era, the so-called opportunities and temptations to go to sea have impacted people's hearts, and scholars have been pushed to the crossroads of life: where to go? Many people don't know what they should do. The vagrant children are homeless, which leads to abnormal social phenomena such as professors selling cakes.
In fact, the "university" itself is well said: stop at benevolence for the monarch; Being a minister ends with respect; Being a son stops at filial piety; Being a father stops at kindness; Making friends with China people ends with letters. Different identities, different people have different stops. The key is to find the positions and roles that best suit your own conditions and can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
That's all that matters. In this way, the professor will certainly not sell pies! And things start and end, and things end. Knowing the order is the shortcut. It tells us that everything has roots and branches, and everything has a beginning and an end.
Understanding this truth from beginning to end is close to the basic law of the development of things. It emphasizes that everything should grasp the root of things, that is, focus on the main contradictions in the development of things.
7. Today, we received the classic "University Question". When we open this book, we see the familiar words "The way to a university lies in the virtue and the people ..." What does this mean? I was so surprised that my face twisted into transformers.
"Zhi Zhi will decide later, then he can be quiet, then he can be calm, then he can be safe, then he can think about it, and then he can get it." After opening the translation, I suddenly realized.
I love reading books, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, classics recommended by teachers, and Ma Xiaotiao, a naughty boy. Although these books gave me knowledge, I finished reading them at a glance. "Read it several times and savor it slowly!" My mother keeps reminding me of what I have learned from books. It's like dreaming, just remembering the plot. If there is a reminder, you may think of more details. With the help of homework help, I was lucky enough to escape my father's monitoring. My father thinks I really understand it ... I'm getting used to this cleverness. Easy, except for exams!
A perfect state requires unremitting efforts. As the University said, "Be brave after being ashamed", if you really want to study hard, you have to be unfocused and down-to-earth, make full use of the fleeting time and get closer to your goal step by step.
"Dad, mom, the children have dinner!" The loud voice is like a magnet, full of magic. My sister and I rushed downstairs, and my grandmother came to hug my grandfather. Mom untied her apron, and dad pulled open the dining chair and led the old man to the table. Dinner has been served long ago, and we are talking and laughing, and we are very at ease every day! Mom and dad do this every day, which is very reassuring.
I remember once chatting, my father patted my mother on the shoulder: "Let's make a strong bridge!" " "I remember his smiling face. At that time, I asked inexplicably: "Why did you build a bridge? Just be a pillar, you are too thoughtless. " Dad smiled at me and at grandpa.
"Quiet and then you can be safe, safe and then you can worry, and then you can get it." Now I understand that parents' perennial peace of mind comes from the beauty of the soul: do what you can, do your best, and have no regrets! Pay with peace of mind and get the reward you deserve-look at our happy family!
Good reading, good reading! I hold my "University". The bright moon is in the sky outside the window, and the moonlight caresses me and my university through the glass. I'm warm.
