When Jobs went to college, the political radicalism on campus gradually faded. What students discuss all day is no longer the fate of the country and society, but how to realize personal value.

/kloc-At the age of 0/7, Jobs dropped out of Reed University for the simple reason that he spent all his parents' savings. Jobs's parents are only blue-collar workers, and they can't stand him making things up at school. However, Xiao Qiao is not an ordinary person. He has never felt pain because of money. Xiao Qiao always thinks about deeper things, such as philosophy and life. As for making money, it's just a matter of getting it easily.
It stands to reason that Xiao Qiao dropped out of school because he could not afford the tuition, but Xiao Qiao didn't want to go. The atmosphere of Reed University is very comfortable, and Xiao Qiao is very comfortable here. Most importantly, Xiao Qiao's girlfriend is still at school, and he wants to find the meaning of life with her. More interestingly, the school has a strong learning ability in the workplace and is a material that can be made. It actually left Jobs at school, let him sit in it, and didn't pay a penny, and let Jobs live in the original student dormitory. ?
Young Jobs is an out-and-out literary youth who loves art. Although he can't play a musical instrument, he can listen to all kinds of music. At that time, the Beatles and Bob Dylan were very popular, and Jobs was their big fan. It is said that after Jobs became famous, he felt that he had enough weight and wanted to visit Bob Dylan, but people simply ignored him and turned him away.

Staying in China became more and more boring. When Jobs came into contact with the practice in India, he found it interesting, so he saved money to visit India.
19 years old, Jobs left the United States and came to India. Before going to India, Jobs had read many books about Indian Buddhism, which brought great spiritual comfort to Jobs.
In the 1970s, not only Jobs, but also artists like John Lennon and Bob Dylan yearned for Indian culture. The speed of social change is too fast, people's thoughts can't keep up, and the conflicts of various cultures make those young people particularly confused and don't know what kind of life they should choose.
Jobs came to India, and after deeply understanding the actual situation of Indian society, he found that the Indian people's life was very poor, the infrastructure construction was particularly backward, and the whole country was still in an extremely backward state.
Jobs fell into greater confusion, which made him immediately deceived. Jobs thinks that India is a country with a deep ideological level, but the poverty of the people in front of him is also a real reality to the bone. The poverty of the Indian people is different from the hippies Jobs met in America. Hippies mostly come from middle-class families. Their parents can help them even if they don't have a job for the time being, while the Indian people are really poor and have to work hard every day to earn a bite to eat.
Perhaps it was this trip to India that strengthened Jobs' idea of entering the electronics industry. He hopes to "create extraordinary products to convey ideas and values and make the world a better place".
Xiao Qiao is developing new products.
Shortly after returning to the United States, Jobs and his childhood friend Steve Wozniak founded Apple.
Jobs wants to integrate his ideas into Apple products, so that users can feel the ideas contained in them when using Apple products.
All the wonderful stories about Apple start here.
Jobs created products that the world will remember all his life, became a legend of an era, and founded a world-famous technology company. Jobs is undoubtedly very lucky. He happens to stand at the key node of every era.
Jobs later said, "I was lucky to enter this field when computers were still a young industry." At that time, there were not many people with computer degrees, and the employees were all outstanding talents who became monks in the fields of physics, music and zoology. They are so interested in it that no one enters the computer industry for money. "
Like other technical geniuses, Jobs was crazy about technology in his early days, thinking that technology was everything for a technology company, but he ignored the marketing side. He has repeatedly increased investment in scientific research, but the sales of the company's products have never improved. The board of directors was dissatisfied with the company's financial situation and kicked Jobs out. Jobs had to leave Apple, which he founded himself.
Xiao Qiao began to follow the business model.
This time, Jobs was kicked out of the company. To be fair, Jobs himself did make many mistakes. He is headstrong, does not consider the current situation of the company, and is not good at wooing people. There is no hope for the whole company, and people are worried. He is too individualistic, ignoring other people's opinions, offending the board of directors and being expelled from the company is also in line with business logic. ?
However, it is this failure that makes the growth of jobs possible. From 65438 to 0996, it officially returned to Apple. This time, Jobs is no longer the impulsive and irritable young man. He grew up to be a qualified leader under the modern company system, and his leadership temperament became a model for countless entrepreneurs. His endless creativity, his ability to seize the opportunity to create an authoritative image, his increasingly mature personality, his harmonious coexistence with team members, and his indomitable will in adversity all make him the soul of Apple.
There is never a shortage of genius in our time. What is lacking is the perseverance to risk one's life for the dream. Want to achieve a career, not by the inspiration between the crackle, but by persistent research on products and dedicated service to users.
