追求你所愛 --『Steve Jobs』 (Kai)

謹以此紀念我人生中的一位重要導師 -- "Steve Jobs"




Steve Jobs, 相信現今不只科技業人士,就連市井小民都會認識這位人物,至今他在Apple所開發的產品,一而再,再而三的Change the World
  • Apple II -- 第一台為了個人而設計的個人電腦,在這之前電腦只是工業用具。
  • Macintosh -- 第一台搭載圖形使用者介面與滑鼠,且擁有漂亮字型的電腦,影響往後所有電腦。
  • iPod -- 包含iTunes,重新定位音樂產業,使音樂販賣模式由實體購買轉成線上購買。
  • iPhone -- 將電信產業重新洗牌,賣手機不只要賣硬體,還要賣軟體。App成為牛津字典新名詞。App新經濟崛起。傳統電信業者被迫跟上腳步,否則將會全盤皆輸(ex: Nokia)。
  • iPad -- 迫使PC產業大改變,PC龍頭HP宣布賣掉PC部門,宣布進入後PC時代。

為何Steve Jobs可以一而再,再而三地締造傳奇,創造膾炙人口的產品,甚至成為大家追捧的偶像?
總而言之,He Loves what he does 他愛他所做

Steve Jobs:
Sometimes life hits you in the head with the brick. Don't lose faith.
I'm convinced that the only thing kept me going was that I loved what I did.
You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and only the way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is a great work.
And 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.
As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
So keep looking. Don't settle.


Steve Jobs曾經登上"你最不想與之共事的老闆"排行榜第一名(如果他真這麼差勁,為何總是能吸引優秀人才幫他做事呢?),但他也登上"你認為最棒的老闆"排行榜第一名。或許有些人認為他很極端,但其實只是因為他持續追求他所愛的事物,而毫不考慮周遭人對他的眼光,近乎飢渴的想要實現他理想中的產品,事實證明後來的確成功地做出他所愛的產品,甚至改變了世界。

Steve Jobs:
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
And I have always wished that for myself.
And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. 


引用2005年Steve Jobs在Stanford的演講。

Steve Jobs用一生告訴了我們:

  1. 你沒辦法知道你現在做的事情會對往後有甚麼影響,但是請繼續追求你所愛的事物。
  2. 不要在意他人眼光,持續追求你所愛的事物。
  3. 對成功要有所執著,對所愛的事物更要執著,不輕言放棄。

而Apple至今的所有廣告,我最愛1997年Steve Jobs主導的『Think Different』。我認為這齣廣告最能代表Steve Jobs的心境。


最後,附上在Mashable上發表的Steve Jobs一生10個最精采演出



謹以此文,表達無限的悼念以及悲痛,影響我深遠的導師 -- Steve Jobs.
以及借用我好友Wesley的一句話。
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish, and please Stay Peace.
I'll miss you.
