deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna loved much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter binations, about what makes great typography was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it of this had even a hope of any practical application in my ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh puter, it all came back to we designed it all into the was the first puter with beautiful I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal puter would have I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal puters might not have the wonderful typography that they course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years , you can’t connect the dots looking forward。2011年8月25日,喬布斯先生宣布辭職的消息讓人吃驚,我們對他的健康狀況表示擔(dān)心。當(dāng)你的想法站不住時,立即大度的丟棄,這其實是更是一種堅持。3, any product are not should bring a BUG to meet users, that is afraid to betray media postpone the release of 、產(chǎn)品一定是讓人感覺最新,但堅決不做小白鼠去嘗試前無古人的新產(chǎn)品。5, the sign painting so big?
