Steve Jobs

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

I have listen "Steve Jobs" in audio abridged version.

I could learn something from the life of Steve Jobs.

B. Russel wrote that you can have happy life if you produce or construct something as a life-long job.
Jobs have created several techno-items, Mac, iPod, iPhone, and so on.
Most of his creations have changed the ways how people enjoy daily life over the world.
He loves to innovate things and change people's life. Therefore his own life should be very happy.
He understand how people love iPhone commonly over the world.

He loves his products more than he loves other people especially in his early days.
This makes his life not perfect. But nobody can have a perfect happiness.

He strongly influenced many people, especially for their adventurous up-and-down lifes.
He also influenced me in some sense.
He loves simplicity, beauty, and totality. I also love these qualities.

There are not so many genius. He is one of tech geniuses of our age, along with Bill Gates, Google founders, and Facebook founder.

Which do you like among big IT companies ?
I like Apple, Google, and Amazon, rather than Micro Soft or Facebook.
All of these are founded in US, which means US has been strong in IT.
Maybe Mr. Son of SoftBank can be compared with them in Japan.

Then how can we enjoy life like Steve Jobs ?
First we may need to 'stay hungry and fool'.
Then we find intellectual fellows, start-up a company and innovate something new.
Surely we need a good fortune.
Maybe US provides environment exclusively better than any countries for this kind of big dream.

His life also tell that even one of the richest man on earth can not remove diseases and avoid decease. Life is not long.

He said he like to produce good products rather than get profits.
To make good ones, he believe that all hardwares and softwares are designed and controlled by Apple.
He tried to make Apple keep dominating techno-production even after his death.
As of 2014, Apple still keeps great. But nobody knows what will happen in 10 years.
I think it is difficult to keep current shares without a genius in Apple.
Apple may merge or be merged by other big companies like IBM, HP, Sharp, or some Chinese giants.

I like Gate rather than Jobs in person.
Because Gate with his wife have gave the world a lot of his money for better lives of many poor and young people and he tries to inform the world about health problems world wide.
Compared with him, Steve looks like not interested in lives of poor countries.



This is very good for English learning and listening.
