10 Things You Can Learn From Steve Jobs’ Life
6. Stay hungry, stay foolish
This is one sentence that has and will always stay in our minds eternally. Jobs said this among many great things in his 2005 Stanford speech. Though, it was first published in The Whole Earth Catalog in the 1970s, Jobs told this to the graduating batch at Stanford.
7. Don’t be disheartened by failure
Yes, even if failure knocks at your door once, twice or more. You have to keep your hopes up and think that everything happens for the best; for your best. He cites his example of getting fired from Apple as “the best thing that could have ever happened to me”. Since then, he founded two companies, one of which was bought by Apple.
8. Aim for perfection
Jobs also believed and wanted others to aim for perfection in whatever they do. So if you’re an engineer, teacher or musician, you must yearn to be perfect in your work.
9. Follow your heart and intuition
Jobs explains this by saying that “they somehow know what you want to become”. Even if your heart says insane things to you, you should probably listen to it. When Jobs dropped out of college, he too followed his heart and intuition. Now look where it got him.
10. Listen to the voice at the back of your head
Yes, because it tells you whether you are on the right track or not. Jobs said that don’t do something because your parents told you to do that or you wanted to make money. You should listen to that voice in the back of your head as it will take you on the right path.
