Inspirational Story Jobs: Stay Hungry and Stay Stupid

In that famous speech of Stanford University graduates, Jobs mentioned the classic saying "Stay Hungry and Stay Stupid", but in the real world, Jobs always put these two sentences into practice, whether in daily life or at work.

Jobs is a vegetarian, and this habit has kept him "hungry". The Biography of Steve Jobs talked about the famous Diet of an Asteroid in the 197s, which led Jobs to follow vegetarianism. Isaacson, the author of the book, also confirmed that the book's influence on Jobs led him to start his almost primitive diet, and he also tried to convince people around him to become vegetarians. Jobs never misses a chance to preach the advantages of vegetarianism and dieting, and you can imagine the fear of people who eat at his table.

Isaacson described Jobs as a man who was fastidious and even fussy about food. His daughter Lisa once talked about how to watch him spit out a spoonful of soup just because she knew there was butter in it. She also said that Jobs's obsessive-compulsive behavior towards food was similar to his ascetic personality and thought that the effect of enlightening thoughts could be achieved by abstinence from the stomach.

After the liver transplant, Jobs decided to eat only fruit juice. He will line up seven or eight kinds of fruit juices and dip a spoon in it to taste. When his illness worsened, Jobs continued his diet and fasting despite the doctor's advice. Every time Jobs sits at the dinner table and stares at the computer without saying a word, his wife gets angry. "I want to force him to eat," she said. At that time, the atmosphere at home was incredibly tense.

And this fascination with the "hunger" state, Jobs also exercised it in his work. Everyone knows that Jobs is always dissatisfied with Apple, and he is always critical of his products. This is a "hunger" for perfection.

Eight years after Apple was founded, Jobs led the team to design a breakthrough Macintosh computer, which made personal computers easier to use. After falling out with John sculli, then CEO of Apple, Jobs left Apple for 12 years. When he returned to Apple in 1997, he immediately developed a series of innovative products: iPod, iPhone and iPad. These products not only changed the product categories such as music players and mobile phones, but also changed the whole industry such as music and mobile communication. And all this is because Jobs has an innovation for the team, an innovation stimulated by "hunger".

It is this attitude of "staying hungry and being stupid" that makes Jobs see through life and death and "the world", and because of this attitude, he has great adventurous spirit.

because everything is impermanent to him. It's amazing how quickly Apple's series of products are updated. He always decisively eliminated what had been formed, and he knew that only by staying "hungry" could more product innovations be realized.

Steve Jobs once said that in the mid-197s, he was impressed by the back cover of the last issue of a magazine called Global Catalog. There is a picture of a country road in the early morning, which is very pleasing to the eye. There is a farewell message at the bottom of the photo: "Stay hungry and stay stupid." Jobs has been introspecting on this. He knows that wealth, knowledge and connections often stifle a person's spirituality; Only by keeping the hunger of material and spirit and the stupidity of things you don't know can you have unremitting creativity. Jobs gave his motto, which accompanied him when he was young, and perhaps his weapon to break his destiny, to those souls in the world who were unwilling to be mediocre:

"Stay hungry and stay stupid"! ;
