197265438+In February, Jobs dropped out of Reed College after only one semester. However, instead of going home, he stayed at Reed College and lived in an abandoned dormitory for a year, studying calligraphy, philosophy and foreign culture.

Reed College is indeed a relatively free school, and they don't mind this phenomenon. Jobs even became good friends with Jack Dedeman, dean of Reed College. He argued with Jobs for hours. Jack Dedeman's impression of him at that time was: "He likes to think, likes to get to the bottom of it, and is very attractive. You can't send him away in a few words. He refused to accept these cliches, and he had to explore for himself. "

At that time, Reed University provided the best calligraphy education in America. Every poster and label on every drawer in the school is beautifully handwritten. Since Jobs had dropped out of school and didn't have to take ordinary classes, he chose calligraphy classes and wanted to learn how to write beautiful calligraphy. In this class, he learned all kinds of fonts, how to change the spacing between different font combinations, and how to make a beautiful layout. Jobs thought it was a subtle thing full of beauty, history and art that science could never capture. It's so interesting. Calligraphy lessons also inspired his hidden artistic talent for the first time.

What Jobs didn't expect was that calligraphy gave him such a big advantage. It was by studying calligraphy that he mastered different fonts, which became one of the biggest advantages of Apple Computer. Jobs said in his later speech: At that time, I had no idea that this knowledge would have any practical value in my life.

But ten years later, when we designed the first Apple computer, all these things came in handy.

I designed everything I learned at that time into the Apple computer. That was the first computer that used beautiful printed fonts. If I hadn't dropped out of school, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to take this excellent calligraphy class that I was interested in, and Apple wouldn't have so many rich fonts and pleasing font spacing. Personal computers won't have these wonderful symbols now. Ten years later, recalling all these karma, I really feel that life is amazing.

During his college study, Jobs was not only interested in calligraphy, but also obsessed with oriental philosophy. They took religious courses and read a lot of books about religion and philosophy in the college library, especially interested in Buddhism. He also discussed Buddhism with Daniel Kott, a good friend he met in college, and learned from each other, thus catching all the books related to Buddhism in that era. Including Autobiography of Yogi, Cosmic Consciousness, Material Concept of Breaking Through Practice, Practice in Movement, etc. The initial heart of the Zen master impressed him the most. Therefore, Jobs is more and more convinced that there is an instinct of higher intelligence level in human beings, and he also hopes that he can make great discoveries beyond abstract knowledge.

At that time, Jobs always delved into philosophy in his spare time, thinking hard and trying to find a simple way of life in religion. As a result, he became a vegetarian and often went to local Hindu temples to learn meditation.

Although Jobs, who was penniless at that time, had a hard life, he loved every minute of those days, because his curiosity could fly freely and his intuition led them forward.

1973 in the summer vacation, a friend went to India, listened to the instruction of Indian yoga master Nim calori Baba, and felt a charged love atmosphere. All this further stimulated Jobs' desire to go to India, an ancient oriental civilization. He also hopes to get personal guidance from the yogi who walks through the snow in the Himalayas, and even has an enlightening epiphany.

These two books, which once fascinated Jobs, are also philosophical classics that have been selling well in the western world.

Why did Jobs succeed?

1. Beautiful design

Sculli said that both he and Jobs liked beautiful design, and Jobs also thought that design should be based on the user experience. They study Italian designers, including car designers. They studied all aspects of automobile design, including comfort, materials and colors. At that time, no one in Silicon Valley had done this. Sculli said it was not his idea, but Jobs' idea, but his professional background was design. Apple does not only computers, but also product design and marketing design, which is a question about the positioning of the company.

2. User experience

The question that Jobs has been considering is, what is the user experience of the product? User experience is an end-to-end system, which is also related to product manufacturing, supply chain, marketing and retail.

3. No group discussion

Jobs once said, "If a person doesn't know what a graphics-based computer is, how can I ask him what a graphics-based computer should look like?" No one has ever seen such a thing. Jobs believed that showing calculators to others would not help explain how computers work, because it was a huge leap.

4. the theory of supreme goodness

Jobs believed that every step must be done well. He pays attention to methods and is very cautious. Jobs was actually a perfectionist.

5. Forward-looking

Jobs believed that computers would become consumer goods. In the early 1980s, this was a surprising idea, because people thought that personal computers were just smaller mainframes. This is also IBM's view. Others think that personal computers may be similar to game consoles, because several game consoles were already on the market at that time. But Jobs's point of view is completely different. He believes that computers will change the world and help people acquire previously unimaginable abilities. Computers are not game machines, nor are they miniaturization of mainframes.

minimize

What makes Jobs's method different is that he thinks the most important decision is not what you should do, but what you should not do. He is a minimalist. Jobs is always cutting some elements to make the product the simplest. Of course, Jobs didn't oversimplify products, he just simplified complex systems.

7. Recruit the best talents

Jobs always found the best and brightest people. He is a leader and can attract others to join his team. In addition, he can make people accept his views without actual products. Jobs always comes into contact with those talents he thinks are the best in a certain field. He is always personally responsible for the recruitment of his own team, rather than handing over the recruitment work to others.

Perfect the details

One of Jobs' ideas was to "change the world". On the other hand, Jobs also pays great attention to details, such as how to develop products, how to design software, hardware and systems, and what peripheral devices products should have. He is always personally involved in advertising, design and everything.

9. Keep it small.

Jobs didn't like big companies. He thinks that big companies are full of bureaucracy and lack efficiency. He called these companies "idiots". Jobs once thought that the number of Mac team members could not exceed 100, so if anyone wanted to join, someone had to leave. Jobs once said, "I can't remember more than 100 names. I just want to work with people I know. So if the scale exceeds 100 people, then the organizational structure must be changed. I can't work like that. My favorite way of working is that I can get in touch with everything. "

10. Reject a bad job.

Sculli thinks that Apple is like an artist's studio, and Jobs is a skilled craftsman. An engineer once showed Jobs the software code he had just written. After browsing, Jobs said, "It's not good enough." Jobs always forced others to do their best, so Apple employees were always able to accomplish something they thought they couldn't.

1 1. It tastes good.

One of the main differences between Jobs and Bill Gates is that Jobs has good taste. Gates and others always pay attention to the products that can occupy the market, and the products are always launched to seize the market. But Jobs never did. He thinks it should be perfect.

12. consider the problem from the perspective of the system

The iPod is a good example, which reflects the user experience of Jobs and the whole end-to-end system. ......

What is Steve Jobs' education?

Jobs had no education. This is a big problem in our country. Whether it is employment or entrepreneurship, education is a threshold. Middle-level cadres must have a master's degree, and senior leaders must have a doctorate ... Almost all "official positions" have set academic thresholds, and technical positions are no exception. In hospitals, even the number of undergraduate or master nurses has become a condition for evaluation. "Discrimination against academic qualifications" is universal and persistent. Compared with the ability of the United States, it is not a problem that Jobs has no education;

On dropping out of school, Jobs said, "Now, this is the best decision of my life. At the moment I decided to drop out of school, I finally didn't have to take courses that made me uninterested. Then I can start taking classes that look interesting. "

It's not that education is bad. Jobs said, "Let nature take its course." Without money to go to college, Jobs chose to drop out of school, work to earn money, and even make a living by picking up coke bottles for money. When he had some money, Jobs and his good friend Wozniak set up Apple Computer Company in their garage.

"Living is to change the world. Are there other reasons? " Our efforts are not to obtain academic qualifications, but to innovate and change the world!

Therefore, it is not necessary to have a degree to have computer skills. At that time, there was no PC, and computers were very simple. There is no hard disk, even no disk, and storage depends on card paper. Learning computers, according to the current point of view, there was no so-called computer at that time.

Why did Jobs develop his own personal computer without going to college?

Why did Jobs develop his own personal computer without going to college?

Who told you that Jobs didn't have a high degree? He graduated from a serious university, although the university he attended was not very famous compared with other famous universities. Nowadays, most of the rich in science and technology have graduated from universities or studied. Bill Gates, the most famous rich man in science and technology, didn't graduate from college, but he studied at Harvard University. He dropped out of school to start a business.

What is the personality charm of Jobs, and why do so many people worship him?

Master Joe is a grassroots hero from a civilian background.

He was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born, and his adoptive parents raised him. They are also poor and have no money for him to finish college. After dropping out of school, Joe helped Wang assemble his own computer in the garage and compiled software to sell money. In the 1980s, apples got better and better. But Mr. Qiao was young and frivolous, offended the whole company, and was finally expelled from the company by employees. After that, the apple went from bad to worse, and Mr. Joe drifted away for many years and finally turned over a new leaf. Finally, when Apple was about to go bankrupt, he was ordered to take over Apple again and become the boss. Under his leadership, Apple came back to life again and launched a series of epoch-making electronic products. Joe Wang takes innovation as its pleasure and launches new products every six months. The general business practice is that even if a new product has been successfully developed, the old product should be sold more and earn enough money. However, Mr. Qiao insisted on bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, which was well received by customers. Finally, in the past few years, through antitrust prosecution, Microsoft was defeated in one fell swoop, making Apple's mac operating system widely popular in the United States. In recent years, ipad, iphone and other products have been continuously introduced, bringing consumers the enjoyment of a new era.

In the innovation of American IT industry, Joe Wang has been as famous as Bill Gates. Bill Gates' mother used to be a director of IBM. When Bill was young, he relied on this relationship to establish many cooperations between Microsoft and IBM, which made Microsoft rise rapidly. However, Mr. Qiao started from scratch, without a good father and a rich mother ~ all by himself ~ ~ so many people like Mr. Qiao better ~
