Let's take a look at the growth process of Jobs.
Jobs is very powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a great man. Who knew that Jobs' father was a famous local mechanical engineer? His father taught Jobs to be a craftsman from an early age and to have advanced ideas for making good products.
When he was young, Jobs was catching up with the development of American Internet. At this time, Jobs was a famous hacker at that time, and he often attended hacker friends' parties!
The elective course of Jobs University is calligraphy, and the study of calligraphy has given him a profound understanding of aesthetics. This has also become his concept in the design of Apple mobile phones: mobile phones can not only transmit information, but also be beautiful!
After dropping out of college, Jobs went to India to study Zen. Minimalism deeply influenced him and made him understand that the simpler and deeper, the less the better!
If your father is also a famous mechanical engineer, you can also become a hacker through hard work, you can also learn calligraphy, go to India to practice Zen and so on. Can you finally make an apple?
If we completely copy his experience, we can get the same result. Is it possible? Think about it. Is it possible? I think if you are a normal person, you will firmly answer: Even if I have the same experience, I'm afraid I can't be the next Jobs?
Then the question is, why can Jobs achieve such great achievements through such an experience?
Let's try to explain why.
First: different talents.
Jobs has a sister, but he has never met her. Later, Jobs tried his best to find her. Jobs was surprised to find that they not only looked alike, but also obviously felt that the beauty of their sister's world was basically the same as their own! My sister hasn't studied calligraphy either. Obviously, Jobs' aesthetic talent is not only refined from calligraphy, but also promoted, and his parents gave him most of the talent.
Second: Times have changed.
Jobs, in fact, he has lived in Silicon Valley since he was a child! Many people must know where Silicon Valley is and what it does. In the 1960s, the economy, Internet and information technology were all undergoing earth-shaking changes, and Jobs was among them. Can ordinary people like you and me still encounter such a period of change and such a geographical position? Once in a century, but!
Third: Different connections.
Networking is not only a friend, but also your teacher and even an enemy! Jobs's mentor is Ellison of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, his friend is CEO of PepsiCo, and his opponent is Bill Gates of Microsoft!
A person's greatness is often not only because of his experience, but also because of his partner, his opponent and his times!
Success can be copied, but not pasted. ..............................
