Steve Jobs
1. I was most surprised that Steve Jobs become a billionare from Pixar's IPO and not his Apple products. His stocks become worth $1.2 billion in 1995 after the success of Toy Story. I most admired Steve Jobs attention to detail. He was so precise and everything had to be perfect in his eyes. He would no put out a product just to make money, but rather he was looking to produce a product that he was valuable and perfect. He was not just in the business to make money. I least admired that Steve Jobs was very difficult to work with and he treated his employees poorly. He would fire them for no reason and would look down on them.
2. I mentioned it above about Steve Jobs' attention to detail. He wanted everything to be perfect and would work unbelievably hard to make it perfect. His hard work and determination, along with his brilliant ideas is what separated him from the rest of the pack. Steve Jobs was able to build the most successful and dominant company we have ever seen.
3. I did not really find any part of the reading confusing. It was all pretty straight forward.
4. If I could ask Steve Jobs two questions I would ask him advice on how to build a company from nothing and also what skill he had that helped him build apple.
5. Steve Jobs was a very hard worker and probably resulted in him creating such a successful business. One most always work hard if they ever hope to achieve something in life, it will never just be handed to you.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI think your reading reflection is interesting because I wrote about the Steve Jobs book for my last reading reflection. I agree with you that he really did care about the products he created and cared more about other aspects of the business than money. He did pay a lot of attention to detail, which combined with his hard work, made him such a success.
Hi Tyler, I really liked your reading reflection. I think that Steve Jobs is one of the most important people considering his contributions to Apple and the smartphone industry, He was an important person and it is easy to see how he so influential. His biography seems to be interesting based on your reflection. I am glad that you were able to pull such valuable lessons from this book.
ReplyDeleteI also did not know that he became so wealthy from Pixar instead of Apple. I have read books about Jobs before and also found that while he had a brilliant vision, he treated the people around him very poorly. His life has some important takeaways for entrepreneurs and people in business.
