不只要科技,還要結合人文與藝術

Steve Jobs 人生的起落,現在看起來就像是一場淬鍊的過程,特殊的生長背景、失勢的敗陣、從動畫中再生,最後重掌蘋果兵符。對於每一項蘋果的產品都十分要求,並堅持公司要的不只是科技,還要結合人文與藝術,也許就是這段崎嶇的人生,讓他看見別人所看不到的未來與趨勢,進而開發出這麼多的劃時代產品。雖然教主已經不在了,但是蘋果的產品就好比他的精神,以另一種特殊的形式永留在人間。

回顧教主的經典漫談

▲點滴中將串連起心之所願、工作將佔有你的生活,所以必須找到你最愛的去做、求知若飢,虛心若愚。

教主的 10 句名言

還記得教主 2005 年在史丹佛大學畢業典禮上演說的結尾語嗎?「 Stay hungry,stay foolish」(求知若飢,虛心若愚),Steve Jobs 在這段演講中也分享有關自己的學業、事業與生死等。但是 Steve Jobs 的名言可不只這一句,讓我們一起來回顧這些精彩的教主名言

  • We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here? (活著就是為了改變世界,難道還有其他原因嗎?)
  • Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. (創新,決定你是領導者還是跟隨者。)
  • Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. (你的時間有限,所以不要浪費時間去過別人的生活。)
  • You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new. (不該讓客戶想到什麼就給什麼,等完成後他們又會想要其他不同的。)
  • Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me. (全世界最有錢的人也無法將財富帶入棺材中,對我來說,重要的是能在入睡前為自己達到的成就喝采。)
  • The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. (成就唯一途徑是去熱愛自己的事業,如果你還沒找到的話,繼續尋找不要屈服。)
  • Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. (幫我做出重大決定的最好工具,就是知道自己快死了。)
  • I want to put a ding in the universe. (我要在宇宙中留下痕跡。)
  • Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is better than two doubles. (質重於量,一支全壘打比兩支安打來的好。)
  • Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. (設計不只在外表和感覺,設計是產品如何運作。)
