无可无不可
无可无不可
乔布斯的十句金言(ZT)
"I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better."
- Steve Jobs
他的成就和人格魅力影响了一代人和整个世界，
这个精力充沛魅力无限的家伙同时也是一个很会鼓动人心的激励大师
这里摘取了一些他的经典语录，希望这些乔氏语录对你有所帮助：
- 领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
创新无极限！只要敢想，没有什么不可能，立即跳出思维的框框吧。
- 成为卓越的代名词，很多人并不能适合需要杰出素质的环境。
成功没有捷径。你必须把卓越转变成你身上的一个特质。
- 成就一番伟业的唯一途径就是热爱自己的事业。
如果你还没能找到让自己热爱的事业，继续寻找，不要放弃。 跟随自己的心，总有一天你会找到的。
我把这段话浓缩为："做我所爱"。
- 并不是每个人都需要种植自己的粮食，
也不是每个人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我们说着别人发明的语言， 使用别人发明的数学……我们一直在使用别人的成果。 使用人类的已有经验和知识来进行发明创造是一件很了不起的事情。
带着责任感生活，尝试为这个世界带来点有意义的事情，
- 佛教中有一句话：初学者的心态；
拥有初学者的心态是件了不起的事情。
不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事务的本质，
- 我们认为看电视的时候，人的大脑基本停止工作，打开电脑的时候，
大脑才开始运转。
过去十年中，大量的理论研究表明，
- 我是我所知唯一一个在一年中失去2.5亿美元的人……
这对我的成长很有帮助。
犯错误不等于错误。
- 我愿意把我所有的科技去换取和苏格拉底相处的一个下午。
十几年来，世界各地的书店里涌现出海量的关于历史人物的书籍。
- 活着就是为了改变世界，难道还有其他原因吗？
你是否知道在你的生命中，有什么使命是一定要达成的？
- 你的时间有限，所以不要为别人而活。不要被教条所限，
不要活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。 最重要的是，勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉， 只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法， 其他一切都是次要。
你是否已经厌倦了为别人而活？不要犹豫，这是你的生活，
以上每句话，刚开始也许很难真正渗透入你的生活，
10 Golden Lessons From Steve Jobs
His accomplishments and character helped define a generation and change the world. He is co-founder of the fairytale company we now know as Apple Computers. And he is the visionary of the personal computers world that led the entire computer hardware and software industry to restructure itself.
This man with boundless energy and charisma is also a master of hype, hyperbole and the catchy phrase. And even when he's trying to talk normally, brilliant verbiage comes tumbling out.
Here's a selection of some of the most insanely great things he said, golden lessons to help you succeed in life, Jobs-style:
1. Steve Jobs said: "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry - get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!
2. Steve Jobs said: "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
There is no shortcut to excellence. You will have to make the commitment to make excellence your priority. Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way possible and get ahead of others by giving that little extra. Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult - simply decide right now to give it your best shot - and you will be amazed with what life gives you back.
3. Steve Jobs said: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."
I've got it down to four words: "Do what you love." Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is 'no' keep looking, you'll know when you find it.
4. Steve Jobs said: "You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved* I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge."
Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. You'll find it gives more meaning to your life and it's a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Don't preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, don't be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing.
5. Steve Jobs said: "There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind."
It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner's mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgements and prejudices. Think of beginner's mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.
6. Steve Jobs said: "We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on."
Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television's pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells. But be cautious, you can turn your brain off by using a computer also. Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for 8 hours a day. Or auto race games, or role-playing games.
7. Steve Jobs said: "I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year*. It's very character-building."
Don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.
8. Steve Jobs said: "I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates."
Over the last decade, numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world. And Socrates stands with Leonardo da Vinci, Nicholas Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers. But he came first. Cicero said of Socrates that, "He called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men." So use Socrates' principles in your life, your work, your learning, and your relationships. It's not about Socrates, it's really about you, and how you can bring more truth, beauty and goodness into your life everyday.
9. Steve Jobs said: "We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?"
Did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? And did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee, and decide to mull things over rather than do them? We were all born with a gift to give in life, one which informs all of our desires, interests, passions and curiosities. This gift is, in fact, our purpose. And you don't need permission to decide your own purpose. No boss, teacher, parent, priest or other authority can decide this for you. Just find that unique purpose.
10. Steve Jobs said: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Are you tired of living someone else's dream? No doubt, its your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss.
Each lesson might be difficult to integrate into your life at first, but if you ease your way into each lesson, one at a time, you'll notice an immediate improvement in your overall performance. So go ahead, give them a try.
