I haven’t finished the book Steve Jobs. Reading it a few minutes over the breakfast in the morning and flipping a few pages before the bedtime, I found myself constantly having Steve Jobs in the mind during the day. In one meeting yesterday, one person with high title made a comment about the works my vendor delivered, “a piece of crap”. Trying not to be defensive, I declared that I agreed with her evidence which was brought up by me and remained mystery, but disagreed with her conclusion given that the “evidence” hasn’t been proved.
I couldn’t help imagining one scenario: what would Steve Jobs respond to this kind of comments? He was the one who liked to trash other ones’ work, but how he would react if another Steve Jobs was criticizing his stuff. It could be: then tell me how to make it less crappy? Or: Don’t forget that the core input to the fantastic forecast was from this crap. Well, it has to be more brutal than this, if it were Steve Jobs.
What was Steve Jobs made of? I have some equations to describe him, an extremely complex human being, just based on the book. Xiaozi asked me if the book was inspiring. No, not to me. It will be probably only inspiring to someone alike. But what have I learned? Seriously, what? Maybe I should give it some thoughts after I finish the entire book.
