After Steve Jobs died, his friend Larry Ellison said something like this. “There will
never be another Steve Jobs.” 31 Larry wrote this list of Steve’s life lessons to
remind us all.
1. Love what you do.
Sure Steve became a billionaire when he bought Apple back. Apple was his
calling ------even after he got fried from the company. We all have bad jobs at one
point in our lives. But the question is: Am I in the right job? Have I found the right
company? Life doesn’t go on forever. 32 2. Don’t do it all by yourself.
Steve learned a great leader can’t do it all by himself. He needs people. They
must be talented. 33 They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short, we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly
have an influence on the world.
3. 34
Apple was always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of
users. It’s empathy(同情心)that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the
first touch with a new Apple product, he says “Wow, it’s just what I need”.
Remember: you’re
King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.
4. Don’t ignore your health problem.
35 That’s the most important lesson from Steve’s life. It’s great to learn from him but, the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic(自然疗法) solution that wasn’t helpful. When he finally decided to take his doctor’s original advice, it was too late.
A. They must be inspired.
B. Be the best in your field.
C. Take your health seriously.
D. Get on our right way now.
E. Will this lead to a successful job?
F. Put yourself in the other’s shoes.
G. What are the key things that we could learn from him?
