The following are ten classic quotations from Jobs extracted from Cheers (No.96, September 2008): 1, thirst for knowledge, modesty and ignorance. (stay hungry. Stay stupid. ) At the graduation ceremony of Stanford University in the United States in 2005, Steve Jobs, the 56-year-old Apple CEO, gave advice to graduates: "Be hungry for knowledge and be modest." (stay hungry. Stay stupid. The object of knowledge and humility is not so much black and white as the faces we meet every day; Learn to "read" people, every face is the cover of a good book.

If everyone wants to go to San Francisco, it is not a problem to spend a lot of time arguing about which way to take. But if someone wants to go to San Francisco and someone wants to go to San Diego, such an argument is a waste of time. Jobs pointed out that the key to cooperation is unity of purpose. But when there is no common goal, it is easy to become narrow-minded, misunderstand each other and blame each other. So, try to create a common goal that spans all departments, and then work together, even if there is a dispute.
3, time is limited, don't waste time living in the shadow of others; Don't be fooled by dogma, blindly following dogma is equivalent to living in other people's minds; Don't let other people's noise drown out your own voice.

Your heart and intuition already know what kind of person you really want to be, and everything else is secondary. Jobs never compromised. His life is too short to waste time living in the shadow of others. He has never been confused by dogma, and blindly following dogma is equivalent to living in other people's minds; Don't let other people's noise drown out your own voice. Above all, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
It was the best experience in my life that Apple fired me. The ease of starting from scratch released the heaviness of success and made me enter the most creative era in my life. Maverick Apple founder and CEO Steve? In a speech to Stanford graduates, Steve Jobs made a surprising remark: "(1985) Apple fired me, which was the best experience of my life. The ease of starting from scratch has released the heaviness of success and allowed me to enter the most creative era in my life. " In the past, Jobs always recovered from failure and made a comeback. It is important that he seize the opportunity to face his inner passion seriously when he is defeated. Therefore, he regards defeat as a bitter medicine in life and a test of finding "true love". The deeper the frustration, the more he can see the truth and inspire his enthusiasm for true love.
I am experienced, energetic, a little "dream" and not afraid to start from scratch. Jobs introduced himself on Apple's website. When you lose enthusiasm for daily life, you should bravely give up the framework. Jobs believes that if you want to lock in the right goal and put your passion into what you like, it will naturally pay off: "I don't care about market share at all." What I care about is how to make the best microcomputer in the world. As long as we can achieve this goal, our market share will naturally increase. "
6. Innovation = borrowing and linking Jobs always quoted Picasso's famous saying: "A good artist knows how to copy, but a great artist will steal." He never thinks it a shame to borrow other people's ideas. The two innovative keywords given by Jobs are "borrowing" and "linking". But only if you know what others have done.
7. Never, never, never, never give up! Never, never, never, never give up. Jobs likes to quote Churchill's words, "Never, never, never give up!" Never, never, never, never give up.

If you live every day as if it were your last, you will prove yourself right one day. When Jobs was seventeen, he read a sentence: "If you live every day as if it were your last, you will prove yourself right one day." This sentence has a profound influence on him.

Whenever you meet an important decision in life, just thinking that you are going to die can help you make a decision.
10, you must find what you love. You must find something you love. Jobs believed that none of this would have happened if he hadn't been fired by Apple. Good medicine tastes bitter, and sometimes life will give you a head-on blow, but don't lose faith. The only reason to support him is that he loves his job. You must find what you love. Your work occupies most of your life, so only by believing that you are doing great work can you really get a sense of accomplishment. If you haven't found it, keep looking. (rising)
