乔布斯传读后感英文Steve Jobs is the former chief executive officer and cofounder of Apple. Also, people consider him as one of the most brilliant and successful entrepreneur in the past decades. Apple achieves a series success under his wise leading, which makes people curious about knowing his secret and everything. Apple and their products including Iphone and Ipad have changed peoples’ attitude towar d electronic devices. Moreover, they change the way of our routine life, more and more people are regarding Apple products as one part of their life. Apple achieves a series success under his leading, which arise people’s curiosity to his everything. What drive them different and change the world. One of the significant elements is Innovation and creation. Employers in apple are indeed the people who think differently with others so that their products are revolutionary and perfect in current time. Steve Jobs shows us seven principles of innovation in his book The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs. In this essay, I will explain and take some examples for each of them.Principle 1: Do what you loveJobs said “do what you love” He means one should have courage to follow your heart. Everyone had a dream when he was young, but for many reasons, they gave it up. It is indeed hard for one to preserve his dream. When you spend so much energy and time on one thing, there are such rough moments in time and most people give up. Innovation starts from the interest and passion, without passion and enthusiasm nothing can drive you keeping innovation ideas to something. Take Jobs and Wozniak as an example, it is their passion and interest to electronic equipment that drive these two Steve (both their given name is Steve) together and start this legend. There is something that we should learn from this principle. Firstly, It is barely possible for anyone who succeed without doing things you love, so find your love before you start anything. Secondly, one must trust his passion and never fear of facing the failure.Principle 2: Put a dent in the universeEvery innovation at Apple starts with a big, bold vision and a heavy dose of inspiration. And Steve Jobs is quite well-known f or his “reality distortion field”, a phenomenon attributed to Jobs where the leader convinces his team that nothing isimpossible. One of his motivating sentences was “let’s make a dent in the universe”. People always underestimate the power of a vision or just a idea, actually sometimes, it is some bold vision or a innovation idea that move the world forward, for example, Jobs ,himself, didn’t invent personal computer, nor did he invent the MP3 player, he innovated around those with the introduction of Mac and iPod. He didn’t invent the tablet computer or smartphone, he put all his time into the iPhone and the iPad, without a bold vision, Jobs and his teams will get nothing but an empty dream. Every innovation at Apple starts with a big, bold vision and a big bunch of inspiration.What passion to a successful people is what fuel to a car, but vision provides the map of your road. When we want to make a vision and run after it, it is better to make sure that the vision has some common characters such as specific, concise and consistent.Principle 3: Kick-Start your brainWe can not deny that daily routine is the golden mind source of many brilliant people, especially inventors. Jobs said “Creativity is just connecting things”. Which means that is not a difficult thing for anyone. Actually it is not a big deal butjust “connecting the dots in your life” Jobs also said it in the commencement of Stanford. Yet it is a pity that few people can think things differently and connect them in a new way. Significant one o f Apple’s ideas is that they use analogies or metaphors to think about a problem, specifically, by finding the similarities between two things that are unlike. Take the Macintosh as an example, Part of what made it great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, artists and zoologists It is a work of art rather than an electronic product. How accurate it is! People who are filled with innovation ideas always can extend their thoughts to some other fields and get into a new high level by activating each other.Another interesting but real example we can found is in the year 2009, the Obama government made a action that shocked the people a little bit. They recruited lots of famous fiction novelists to work with the FBI in order to anticipate the Bin Laten’s shelter and recent plan. But it did work a little bit and even a new anti-terrorism strategy.Catching the inspirations from experiments and other fields sometime is a good way to find new connection. But mostly find the connection between unfamiliar things and keep passion to ask, more importantly, never fear the changes isindeed the point of hunting success.Principle 4: Sell Dreams, Not productsFrankly speaking, Apple products like Mac and iPhone etc. indeed are the symbol of fashion, but Apple never declare that he is the leader of fashion.their The main reason of that is their attitude toward products and customers. They try to provide the best products to their customers who also have a making world changed dream so that they don’t just sell for current profits but for making their dream real. It is well known that Jobs do a market research or investigate before build a new product, differently from others, but he still build great products without focus groups. However, it’s not to say that Apple does not listen to its customers. Actually it seems none can know their customers better than them. As jobs said, “we, too, are going to think differently and serve the people who have been buying our products since the beginning”. Apple and Jobs indeed always create things that are not their customers want right now, but what they want in future. Take iPad as an example, it used to be considered as an unworthy product, because people don’t need it, while jobs think people will need a device which makes browse web and check email easier, it is also supposed to provide a new experiencefor entertainment which is between laptop and phones. That is the original model of iPad. Without a brave but smart thought like that, iPad won’t be one of the most popular equipment now. It is hard to say whether Apple’s strategies are available for every enterprise, however, they use their own way to catch their customers closely to their products, which is definitely a special but effective method.There are thousands of electronic corporations in China, but none of them has any style like Apple, they just follow the so called customer’s current need and make a little profit by producing in a fast way. So, lots of companies have to survive only on changing with the market and following foreign fashion. People buy their products just for the low price. In my opinion, they should pay more attention on customers’ dream rather than their requirements and stop copying from others, no one would like to use the toilet papper which has already used even though you offer them in a low price. Instead they should make some products on behalf of the spirit or inspiration of their company.Principle 5: Say no to 1000 thingsThe motto for Jobs as well as Apple, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, is widely showed in Apple’s products. TakeJobs’s famous two-by-two printed tables as an example. The simple chart make everything clearly to design a great product, it make your goals crystal. As Jonathan Ive, Apple design leader, s aid “The way we approach design is by trying to achieve the most with very least.” In the book ‘Steve Jobs’ we know that, Steve is different in conference and meeting. Jobs never believe in ‘Market research’, all he wants to do is that provide a prefect tools for the people who want to change the world. As a consequence of that, Apple just produce the most friendly and easy-used electronic for people. Sometimes, rejection is also a rebirth which will buy yourself a new chance.Principle 6: Create insanely great experiencesCompanies focus on Service and experiences a lot. consumer’s choice also mainly depends on their experience. So what Steve and Apple do to his consumers? “People don’t want to just buy personal computer any more. They want to know what they can do with them, and we’re going to show people exactly that.” Jobs said. So, Apple’s consumers have been given surprising but reasonable experiences ever since the beginning. Although manyconsultant strongly doubt that they have aimed at unworthy target , Jobs still carry on with his own idea, he create a special retailer-Apple Store where people could get a surprising new experience. Jobs insist the decoration in every store must gorgeous, simple, and filled with sense of technology so that he use some expensive marble and other materials to decorate the store. And it turnout that Jobs was right again, after so many suspicions.Different experience makes you no only feel different, but also think different, behave different and decide different. But we have to keep it in a right and controllable way.Principle 7: Master the messageIdeas are not really just a pool of dead water if they are confined only to a person’s mind. Communication skills is necessary and effective for a innovator, there are 4 steps to communicating value. First of all tell some classical stories. Then, keep everyone aligned. Next, make the proper atmosphere. Finally, encourage presentation skills development. Steve Jobs is widely considered as a brilliant storyteller. He declare that a good presentation sometimes is even more important than the product itself. Think about iPad , “Our most advanced technology in the magical andrevolutionary device at an unbelievable price.” That what Jobs said on his own to us in a magic method. As a consumer said that it seems Jobs presentation has magic so that people can not deny it. With Jobs special ability to persuade others, many business plans have been proceeded successfully as if there were a potential guarantee.To sum up, Steve Jobs’ secret on innovation and creation is showed step by step in the 7 principles. I think we should think and digest it differently in our own way. It can not be denied that Jobs’ story do work on Jobs, but maybe not on you. Maybe some rules work on you but not all of them, then, you still can not become Jobs. So, create our own principles is the right way to seek for a better future on not only career but also the whole life.感谢阅读，希望能帮助您！。

2013.2.27Jobs and Kottke became serious vegetarians during their freshman year. “Steve got into it even more than I did,” said Kottke. “He was living off Roman Meal cereal.”They would go shopping at a farmers‟ co-op, where Jobs would buy a box of cereal, which would last a week, and other bulk health food. “He would buy flats of dates and almonds and lots of carrots, and he got a Champion juicer and we‟d make carrot juice and carrot salads. There is a story about Steve turning orange from eating so many carrots, and there is some truth to that.” Friends remember him having, at times, a sunset-like orange hue.∙bulk [bʌlk]n. 大部分, 大多数, 大块, 大批, 容积, 体积vi. 变大, 增加vt. 膨胀, 出现adj. 大量的∙Roman [rɔmə]adj. 罗马的，罗马帝国的n. 罗马人，罗马天主教会，罗马文字∙Co-op [kəu'ɔp]n. <口>消费合作社=cooperative∙meal [mi:l]n. 膳食,一餐,谷物粗粉vi. 进餐∙cereal ['siəriəl]adj. 谷类(的),谷物(的) n. 谷类食物∙flat [flæt]adj. 平坦的, 单调的, 扁平的adv. 平直地, 干脆地n.

He believed in eating nothing but fruits and starchless vegetables, which he said prevented the body from forming harmful mucus, and he advocated cleansing the body regularly through prolonged fasts. That meant the end of even Roman Meal cereal—or any bread, grains, or milk. Jobs began warning friends of the mucus dangers lurking in their bagels. “I got into it in my typical nutso way,” he said. At one point he and Kottke went for an entire week eating only apples, and then Jobs began to try even purer fasts. He started with two-day fasts, and eventually tried to stretch them to a week or more, breaking them carefully with large amounts of water and leafy vegetables. “After a week you start to fe el fantastic,”he said. “You get a ton of vitality from not having to digest all this food.

《乔布斯传》最后一章：乔布斯自述（中英文对照）我的激情所在是打造一家可以传世的公司，这家公司里的人动力十足地创造伟大的产品。

当然，能赚钱很棒，因为那样你才能够制造伟大的产品。

但是动力来自产品，而不是利润。

但由于斯卡利和乔布斯经营理念的分歧，1993年，出任苹果首席执行官的斯卡利联合苹果其他董事将乔布斯逐出了由他自己创办的苹果公司。

——圪鎏注）本末倒置，把赚钱当成了目标。

这种差别很微妙，但它却会影响每一件事：你聘用谁，提拔谁，会议上讨论什么事情。

有些人说：“消费者想要什么就给他们什么。

”但那不是我的方式。

我们的责任是提前一步搞清楚他们将来想要什么。

我记得亨利·福特曾说过，“如果我最初问消费者他们想要什么，他们应该是会告诉我，‘要一匹更快的马！’”人们不知道想要什么，直到你把它摆在他们面前。

正因如此，我从不依靠市场研究。

我们的任务是读懂还没落到纸面上的东西。

宝丽来的埃德温· 兰德曾谈过人文与科学的交集。

我喜欢那个交集。

那里有种魔力。

有很多人在创新，但创新并不是我事业最主要的与众不同之处。

苹果之所以能与人们产生共鸣，是因为在我们的创新中深藏着一种人文精神。

我认为伟大的艺术家和伟大的工程师是相似的，他们都有自我表达的欲望。

事实上最早做Mac的最优秀的人里，有些人同时也是诗人和音乐家。

在20 世纪70 年代，计算机成为人们表现创造力的一种方式。

一些伟大的艺术家，像列奥纳多· 达· 芬奇和米开朗基罗，同时也是精通科学的人。

米开朗基罗懂很多关于采石的知识，他不是只知道如何雕塑。

人们付钱让我们为他们整合东西，因为他们不能7天24小时地去想这些。

如果你对生产伟大的产品有极大的激情，它会推着你去追求一体化，去把你的硬件、软件以及内容管理都整合在一起。

史蒂芬乔布斯一生英语作文Steve Jobs was a visionary and innovative leader who co-founded Apple Inc. and transformed the technology industry. He was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, to Abdulfattah Jandali and Joanne Schieble. Despite his biological parents being unmarried at the time, Jobs was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, a working-class couple who instilled in him a strong work ethic and a passion for technology.Jobs's early life was marked by his fascination with electronics and tinkering. As a teenager, he attended Homestead High School and frequented the electronics shop of Bill Fernandez, a neighbor who shared his interests. It was there that Jobs met Steve Wozniak, a brilliant engineer who would become his lifelong friend and co-founder of Apple.In 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Oregon, but he dropped out after just one semester, citing the high cost of tuition as a burden on his adoptive parents. However, he continued to audit classes, including a calligraphy course that would later inspire theelegant typography of Apple's products.After leaving Reed College, Jobs worked a series of odd jobs, including as a technician at Atari, a video game company. It was during this time that he and Wozniak began collaborating on their first computer project, the Apple I, which they built in Jobs's parents' garage. The success of the Apple I led them to co-found Apple Computer in 1976, with Jobs serving as the company's visionary and Wozniak as the technical genius.The early years of Apple were marked by rapid growth and innovation. Jobs and Wozniak introduced the Apple II, the first personal computer to gain widespread popularity, and the Macintosh, which revolutionized the personal computing industry with its user-friendly graphical interface. Jobs's attention to detail and insistence on quality design became hallmarks of Apple's products, setting the company apart from its competitors.However, Jobs's tenure at Apple was not without its challenges. In 1985, he was ousted from the company he had co-founded, following a power struggle with the board of directors. This setback did not deter him, and he went on to found NeXT, a computer company that focused on the education and business markets.During his time at NeXT, Jobs also acquired Pixar, an animationstudio that had previously produced the groundbreaking film "Toy Story." Under his leadership, Pixar became a powerhouse in the animation industry, producing a string of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, including "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc.," and "Finding Nemo."In 1996, Apple acquired NeXT, and Jobs returned to the company he had co-founded. This move proved to be a turning point in Apple's history, as Jobs brought his vision and expertise to revitalize the struggling tech giant. He introduced a series of innovative products, including the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad, which transformed the way people interacted with technology.Jobs's attention to detail and insistence on quality design were instrumental in Apple's resurgence. He was known for his demanding and sometimes abrasive management style, but his passion for creating products that delighted customers was unparalleled. Under his leadership, Apple became one of the most valuable and influential companies in the world, with a devoted customer base and a reputation for innovation.However, Jobs's personal life was not without its challenges. In 2003, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis that he initially kept private. Despite undergoing surgery and treatment, the cancer eventually spread, and Jobs stepped down as Apple's CEO in 2011,handing the reins to Tim Cook.In his final years, Jobs continued to work on new projects and ideas, including the design of Apple's new headquarters in Cupertino, California. He passed away on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most influential and innovative leaders in the technology industry.Jobs's impact on the world cannot be overstated. He revolutionized the personal computer, the music industry, and the smartphone market, and his vision for Apple's products and user experience has influenced countless other companies and industries. His relentless pursuit of perfection and his unwavering commitment to creating products that enrich people's lives have left an indelible mark on the technology landscape.。

史蒂夫乔布斯英语作文Title: Steve Jobs: A Visionary Leader WhoRevolutionized Technology。

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc., wasundeniably one of the most influential figures in the realm of technology and business. His innovative spirit,relentless pursuit of perfection, and ability to foreseethe future shaped not only the trajectory of Apple but also the entire landscape of modern technology. In this essay,we delve into the life, achievements, and leadership styleof Steve Jobs.Born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, Jobs showed an early interest in electronics and gadgetry. His journey in technology commenced in his parents' garage, where he, along with his friend Steve Wozniak, developedthe first Apple computer. This marked the inception of a revolution that would redefine personal computing.One of Jobs' most notable characteristics was his unwavering commitment to excellence. He famously remarked, "Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles." This ethos permeated every aspect of Apple's products, from design to functionality. The sleek, minimalist aesthetic of Apple devices became synonymous with sophistication and innovation.Jobs possessed an unparalleled ability to anticipate consumer needs before they even realized them. He had an innate understanding of the intersection between technology and human experience. This foresight led to groundbreaking products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which not only disrupted existing markets but also created entirely new ones.However, Jobs' leadership style was often characterized as demanding and uncompromising. He was known for his exacting standards and penchant for micromanagement. His infamous "reality distortion field" could compel even the most skeptical individuals to believe in his vision. While this approach garnered criticism, there is no denying itseffectiveness in driving Apple to unprecedented heights of success.Moreover, Jobs' commitment to innovation extended beyond hardware to software and user experience. The introduction of the iTunes Store revolutionized the music industry, while the App Store transformed the way we interact with mobile applications. Jobs' emphasis on seamless integration between hardware and software set Apple apart from its competitors and solidified itsposition as a leader in the tech industry.In addition to his business acumen, Jobs was a masterful storyteller. His product launches were not merely presentations but rather theatrical events that captivated audiences worldwide. His charisma, passion, and attention to detail transformed these events into cultural phenomena, generating anticipation and excitement with each new product announcement.Despite his undeniable success, Jobs' journey was not without its challenges.

am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。

我从来没有从大学中毕业。

说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。

今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。

不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。

我为什么要退学呢？It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.故事从我出生的时候讲起。
