Generally Steve Jobs and Bill Gates where
considered to be strong rivals. People think they despise each other, funnily
enough, that isn't the case. In fact they actually went to University together,
although they never truly knew each other then. During a very famous interview
between them they both talk about the long discussions they used to have about technology and
world issues, them both being world changing people. Sure, they do squabble
occasionally. Bill Gates doesn't like the way everything Apple does is closed and
the operating system only works on Macs, he says that yet respects Steve's
decisions to do so because it makes it more secure and reliable. The same goes
for Steve, he doesn't like the way Windows is available on any computer and
doesn't think that is the way to go, but he respects it and even sometimes
regrets not choosing to go down that path. In another interview Bill Gates reveals
that the one trait that Steve Jobs has, that he wishes he has, was his sense of
design. Even with so little engineering background, Steve Jobs was capable of
designing amazing products. He even goes as far as describing Steve Job's
products as phenomenal.
1. As I prepare to enter
HS, how can I live my own life in a better way to fulfill the life goals I have
for myself?
The one important thing
that I need to focus on is empathy. I need to envision myself in the other
person's shoes and try to react appropriately to that. I also need to
do that with teachers, so I can gauge correctly when to speak and when not to.
Or see why certain things would be beneficial to us, in their eyes to
give me another reason to work hard on whatever it is I am doing.
2. What is one MORE unique
thing you have discovered about your figure?
I think the most unique thing would be that for every developer
conference, Steve Jobs wore the exact same shirt and jeans, which has really
come to be the way we think of him and Apple.
3. Describe
your figure’s mentors and special trainings?
Steve Jobs, as a young man, would often talk about Thomas
Edison, because his iconic mind make a great deal of brilliant inventions.
Edison is credited with the first research laboratory. After the death of
Steve, he was often compared to Edison because he created a great American
corporation and used it to change the world.
I always noticed that Steve Jobs always wore the same thing, good fact. That makes your decision of what to wear for living history very easy. Its really interesting that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are not rivals.
ReplyDeletegreat post, I always thought they were rivals, but I find it interesting that I was wrong. I also found interesting the fact that a person Steve Jobs looked up to, he is now compared to them, that must be a dream come true to be similar to your idol, if not, then better :)
