The Wisdom of STEVE JOBS

The Wisdom of STEVE JOBS

STEVE JOBS is a household name both in the business and technology spaces but for those unsure,  STEVE JOBS was an American business magnate and inventor who co-founded the very successful APPLE company [who has not heard of iPhones, iPads? and MACs?].  Why does STEVE JOBS really deserve today's space for our thread?  I thought this is long overdue for us to share and dissect some of the most substantive and messaging-heavy words STEVE JOBS has left for us to ponder.  For the doubting Thomases, sharing The Wisdom of STEVE JOBS WON'T cost us even a cent because he bequeathed all these to us before he died💎💎💎

Dying at the very young age of 56, on his death bed, STEVE JOBS blurter:  WHAT's the difference between a wristwatch worth $30 versus $300 when both will show you the same TIME?  What about a purse worth $30 versus $300 when it may have the same amount?  And if you drive a car worth $30k versus $300k. both can cover the same journey, distance and destination💊💊💊

Please DON'T get me wrong.  there is NOTHING wrong if from time to time we do SPLURGE.  When we achieve some of our milestone successes, we do deserve to REWARD ourselves for us to enjoy the fruits of all our hard work and labor.  But to SPLURGE and REWARD ourselves from time to time is NOT akin to those who are so enamored to peg their [default] standards to the top tier luxury brands whether it's for watches, cars, perfumes, bags, name it.  WHY?  Let us just go back to the words STEVE JOBS' words of wisdom whether it's all about cars, wallets, watches📌📌📌

Even for things SIMPLE versus COMPLEX, STEVE JOBS had very insightful words for it as part of his mantras.  He espoused FOCUS and SIMPLICITY amongst his mantras but he forewarned his believers that "SIMPLE CAN BE HARDER THAN COMPLEX".  WHY? It's because, to quote him again, "YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO GET YOUR THINKING CLEAN TO MAKE IT SIMPLE"✅✅✅

To our counterparts at the workplace, here are strong words from STEVE JOBS: 'THE ONLY WAY TO DO GREAT WORK IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO'.  If I may piggy-back on these words, allow me to extend these words to almost anything and everything you'll do in life.  THAT's why two weeks ago when I drove back for vacation in the countryside, it took me fifteen [15] hours driving one-way but did I get tired?  Of course I was.  BUT I did I regret getting into that quagmire?  NO, not at all.  WHY?  It's because 'I LOVE WHAT I DO'❗❗❗
