If Steve Jobs could do it ,why shouldn't we try ?

Hello Readers

 

I hope you all are safe and doing well!

 

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

-Steve Jobs

 

The Woah! feeling swims around in our minds hearing these names; Apple INC, Google, WhatsApp, Facebook, Amazon! which is natural.

 

The sheer magnitude these companies have played in our lives, Apple for phones, amazon for everything! Google is the new information oxygen! Facebook is the new ozone of people! WhatsApp is now a basic need.

 

The world has changed forever due to these multi-billion-dollar firms.

 

 I have always admired Steve Jobs for the person he was, and his future sighted thinking.

 

I have read the “Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson", a brilliant book, learnt a lot about the oracle of the modern smartphone.

Today these brilliant minds turned it around how people look and feel about a laptop and a phone.

 

Steve Jobs was a very stubborn, determined and his focus was laser guided.

 

He had to step down from the board of his own company yet started his own company NeXT INC and started a graphic studio called PIXAR, which is today one of the world's top animation studios, which Disney acquired.

 

Remember "finding memo", "Toy Story", the "cars" yup! that is the PIXAR I am talking about.

 

One fine day Jobs returned to Apple.

 

When I heard his Harvard university speech, I was stumped; he narrates how he stepped down from Apple's board and was disappointed.

 

Then he talks about how it allowed him to work on fonts and texts because he loved calligraphy and the result, the beautiful font types you see on your mac books today, which is, by the way, unique!

 

Mr. Steve Jobs, a spearheaded man, releases the iPhone in the year 2007.

 

I Feel that was the start of a paradigm in the phone industry when Windows mobile operating systems were at the peak of the touch phone industry.

 

Here comes a dummy-proof device with only a single button, and people loved it!

 

Today the iPhone is the most preferred phone by a person, according to a survey in Forbes magazine.

 

Some more people who made the world look at India and caused a boom in the IT industry and created great employment opportunity in India, Ratanji Tata, Narayana Murthy, Azeem Premji, Shiv Nadar.

 

What differentiates these entrepreneurs from us?

 

I would say nothing.

 

They got a better opportunity they were, living in the Silicon Valley or became part of later?

 

Fine, let us consider all those parameters: yes, they had the upper hand as US always has seen many pioneers due to appreciation towards entrepreneurs, compared to a so-called arrogantly branded "third world country" like India and maybe better-quality education and a support system, but there is something unlike in them.

So how could they succeed?

 

It was the determination, the rage to succeed which led them to what they are today.

 

Can we become like them?

 

Why not? Who is stopping you?

 

No one you are stopping yourself! Give it a try.

 

The sky is the limit! Stand alone. It is good, do something different.

 

All the best! Thanks for your time.

 

Please stay safe; wear a mask.

 

My deepest condolences to the souls who have left us in these challenging times.
