Thirty years after Apple went public, he recalled the feeling of getting rich overnight: I never worried about money. I grew up in a middle-class family, so I never worry about going hungry. When I was in Atari, I realized that I was an excellent engineer, so I knew I could make a living: when I was in college, when I was in India, I chose a hard life. Although I started working later, I still lived a very simple life. I experienced poverty, which was a wonderful feeling, because I didn't have to worry about money. Later, I became very rich, so I still don't have to worry about money.
I met some people in Apple and made a lot of money. I think I want to live a different life. They bought Rolls Royce cars and many houses, each with a housekeeper, and then hired a housekeeper to manage all the butlers. Their wives went for plastic surgery and made themselves very strange. This is not the lifestyle I want. This is crazy. I promised myself that I wouldn't let money ruin my life.
I have read this passage over and over again for countless times. Simple life, simple life truth, but we ordinary people live more and more complicated lives. We are just tired in the process of seeking more material things, never thinking about the real value of life, only knowing how to seek from the outside, never knowing how to seek from the inside.
In the pursuit of material supremacy, we often can't keep our original heart, because human nature is greed and endless desire. But Jobs knew that he could know himself at any time, stick to his original intention and always practice his beliefs. Just like the design concept of Apple's mobile phone, the style is simple. This is also the embodiment of the simplicity of Jobs' personal life. Some people say that life is work, and work is life. What kind of life attitude and style you have will naturally be reflected in your work. Apple is different from the slogan of 1997: those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world can really change the world. This is a true portrayal of Jobs' personality, and it is also because such values have made his extraordinary life.
When we pursue material supremacy all our lives, but we can't even stick to our original ideals and beliefs, all the external things we have will eventually be lost one by one. By the time I read this passage, I have reshaped my life values. If I can stick to the principle of the right path for anyone, anything and everything, and stick to my original heart like Jobs, even if I have no chance of success, I will still have an upright heart when I die. This kind of life is just like what kazuo inamori said: I hope my soul will be more noble when I die than when I was born.
All celebrities admired by the world have a * * * nature: that is, to stick to simple principles as always.
