At one point Jobs was told of a young Hindu holy man who was holding a gathering of his followers at the Himalayan estate of a wealthy businessman.“It was a chance to meet a spiritual being and hang out with his followers, but it was also a chance to have a good could smell the food as we got near, and I was very hungry.” As Jobs was eating, the holy man—who was not much older than Jobs—picked him out of the crowd, pointed at him, and began laughing maniacally.“He came running over and grabbed me and made a tooting sound and said, ?You are just like a baby,?” recalled Jobs.“I was not relishing this attention.” Taking Jobs by the hand, he led him out of the worshipful crowd and walked him up to a hill, where there was a well and a small pond.“We sit down and he pulls out this straight ?m thinking he?s a nutcase and begin to he pulls out a bar of soap—I had long hair at the time—and he lathered up my hair and shaved my told me that he was saving my health.””而他的觀點在大多數(shù)情況下毫無疑問是正確的：在他的職業(yè)生涯中，他的成功遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了失敗。他是一個專制而脾氣暴躁的經(jīng)理人?！彼陂_發(fā)第一臺麥金塔電腦的時候曾經(jīng)強烈要求電腦不能內(nèi)置冷卻扇，以確保電腦運行的時候能夠足夠安靜——他將用戶的需求凌駕于了工程設(shè)計之上。喬布斯在2010年1月發(fā)布iPad時，在演說收尾時指出：“單靠科技是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的，必需要讓科技與人文科學(xué)以及人性相結(jié)合，其成果必需能夠讓用戶產(chǎn)生共鳴。而皮克斯作為喬布斯的一個副業(yè)產(chǎn)品，也為大眾帶來了大量精彩的動畫電影。他于蘋果在1996年陷入困境的時候再度出山，在蘋果收購了NeXT之后再度將自己的創(chuàng)意注入到了蘋果的系列產(chǎn)品當(dāng)中。但是Mac并沒有像喬布斯的想象那樣大獲成功，而他自己也被蘋果踢出了董事會?！崩鐔滩妓箯拇髮W(xué)輟學(xué)并去參加了書法班，使得喬布斯對排版產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。他的公司于1976年的愚人節(jié)當(dāng)天在他的父母的車庫里正式開張。豐富的經(jīng)歷塑造了非凡的成就喬布斯從小在硅谷長大，使得他從小便有機會耳濡目染到計算機的世界。喬布斯早在20世紀(jì)70年代便已經(jīng)看到了向普通大眾出售計算機這塊業(yè)務(wù)的潛力。NOBODY else in the puter industry, or any other industry for that matter, could put on a show like Steve product launches, at which he would stand alone on a black stage and conjure up a “magical” or “incredible” new electronic gadget in front of an awed crowd, were the performances of a master puters do is fetch and shuffle numbers, he once explained, but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be magic”.He spent his life packaging that magic into elegantly designed, easy to use had been among the first, back in the 1970s, to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling puters to ordinary those days of greenonblack displays, when floppy discs were still floppy, the notion that puters might soon bee ubiquitous seemed Mr Jobs was one of a handful of pioneers who saw what was , he also had an unusual knack for looking at puters from the outside, as a user, not just from the inside, as an engineer—something he attributed to the experiences of his wayward Jobs caught the puting bug while growing up in Silicon a teenager in the late 1960s he coldcalled his idol, Bill Hewlett, and talked his way into a summer job at it was only after dropping out of college, travelling to India, being a Buddhist and experimenting with psychedelic drugs that Mr Jobs returned to California to cofound Apple, in his parents’ garage, on April Fools’ Day 1976.“A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences,” he once said.“So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions.” Bill Gates, he suggested, would be “a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger”.Dropping out of his college course and attending calligraphy classes instead had, for example, given Mr Jobs an apparently useless love of support for a variety of fonts was to prove a key feature of the Macintosh, the pioneering mousedriven, graphical puter that Apple launched in its windows, icons and menus, it was sold as “the puter for the rest of us”.Having made a fortune from Apple’s initial success, Mr Jobs expected to sell “zillions” of his new the Mac was not the massmarket success Mr Jobs had hoped for, and he was ousted from Apple by its this apparently disastrous turn of events turned out to be a blessing: “the best thing that could have ever happened to me”, Mr Jobs later called cofounded a new firm, Pixar, which specialised in puter graphics, and NeXT, another remarkable second act began in 1996 when Apple, having lost its way, acquired NeXT, and Mr Jobs returned to put its technology at the heart of a new range of Apple the rest is history: Apple launched the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, and(briefly)became the world’s most valuable listedpany.“I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple,” Mr Jobs said in his failing health forced him to step down as Apple’s boss in 2011, he was hailed as the greatest chief executive in , and

emphasis on design and ease of use gave him the edge later , simplicity and an understanding of other fields came to matter in a world in which puters are fashion items, carried by everyone, that can do almost anything.“Technology alone is not enough,” said Mr Jobs at the end of his speech introducing the iPad, in January 2010.“It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.” It was an unusual statement for the head of a technology firm, but it was vintage Steve interdisciplinary approach was backed up by an obsessive attention to carpenter making a fine chest of drawers will not use plywood on the back, even though nobody will see it, he said, and he applied the same approach to his products.“For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.” He insisted that the first Macintosh should have no internal cooling fan, so that it would be silent—putting user needs
