13A – Reading Reflection No. 1
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
1. The thing that surprised me the most was that Jobs did not become a billionaire from Apple but from Pixar.
I admired his ability to make whatever he was set on achieving happen.
I least admired his inability to listen to other people.
He encountered adversity when he was fired from apple in 1985 but he bounced back by making Pixar a huge success.
2. Steve Jobs was incredibly smart and persistent. He never gave up on his goals.
3. I was confused by his arbitrary choice in the name apple for his company.
4. What do you think was the most vital factor in your success? If you could it again differently would you and how?
5. I think Steve Jobs viewed hard work as essential to success.

This is a neat coincidence: the other blog I did my comment for also covered Steve Jobs.
ReplyDeleteI also would want to know why Apple is called 'Apple' and after a quick Google search, it was a combination of Silicon Valley's historical fruit orchards, Jobs going fruitarian for a bit, and the name being evocative of something desirable.
Look, I was able to answer your question in under ten seconds. This whole review is very clear and comprehensible, but I think it is in desperate need of deeper analysis and proofreading.
