The most interesting thing I learned about Steve Jobs is that he had an interest in Zen Buddhism. We all know Steve Jobs for his technological accomplishments, but we don't know much about his personal life. I admire that Jobs was fully invested in his products from the idea to the final product. The biography talks about how Jobs was picky about every color, screw and detail of every product.
The reading talks about how Jobs was mean to people sometimes because of his perfectionism. This is something I would not have expected from Jobs, but this investment is what made his products good and make his employees work so hard. It is obvious that Jobs respects hard work and those who are committed to their ideas and skills.
Yeah, I agree steve jobs is a huge visionary. His ability to inspire and innovate I believe is what makes him one of the greats. Interestingly enough, Bill Gates was also known for being not the nicest guy and also being a perfectionist. They are both so detail oriented and methodical that maybe its a common thread among the elite. Anyways, interesting post and great selection. Steve jobs is a legend.
ReplyDeleteSteve jobs, I have never owned an apple product, but theirs stores at every mall are always full to the very top. I guess you must be mean if you are a perfectionist, or at least be perceived as one. If I remember correctly they made a movie about him? And how he wanted the computer to say hello to the person.
