My first post is on Steve Jobs mainly because I am reading his biography. I would like to tell you what I learned from him my way. I would love to hear from you, what you learned from him in case you are into Steve Jobs too.
I have read his biography in bits and pieces. But I have seen the movie 'Pirates of the Silicon Valley'. I would recommend everyone to see it once especially the ones thinking of entrepreneurship. It shows to what extent you need to be passionate about your goals and visions and to what extent one should be ready to go to achieve them.
The movie shows the personalities of both, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I would post about Bill Gates too later but since this post is about Steve Jobs I will stick to his personality.
The burning desire, not just burning, a raging desire for innovation can be the caption to describe Steve Jobs' personality. Even before people knew about computer, personal computers to be specific, he knew that is what people want. I remember once when he was asked about market research he said he considers it useless because 'People don't know what they want'. Certainly, did we know that we wanted and iPhone or an iPad before it was launched? He had the capability to think beyond what is visible.
That is one of the characteristics of a great individual, to think beyond. But it is easy for us to say, yes he is Steve Jobs, he can do it, I can't, I am an ordinary person. Well you are right if you think so or otherwise. What I mean is, if you believe you are ordinary, you will stay ordinary which will prove you right. But if you think otherwise like, if Steve Jobs can do it, so can I, you would be right even then. After all, we both are humans born in the same world with the same capabilities.
Please, before moving forward with Steve or anyone else I would really want you to have this consciousness. Because just reading about great people won't do you good. I would suggest you to have the consciousness that even I was born great, now I have to learn how to do it, and such people will be my guide on that. That is my basic motive behind writing this blog.
More on Steve Jobs in coming days.
