Recently, I have watched many biographical films in succession, such as "The Great Entrepreneur", "Steve Jobs", "The Social Network" and so on. Steve Jobs is the ugliest movie of all, and the one that inspires me the most.
Now I can finally understand that he did the incomprehensible things - very simple, he thought so, so he did it. It doesn't matter what he thinks, but in the end he does what he thinks, it's so hard - woz said that to him, you should thank the Apple II team members, and he didn't. Who is woz, a good brother + the co-founder of the company, all the words have been said, who can stand it if you and I are replaced?
Jobs could hold on. At first I thought Steve Jobs was very picky, very flirtatious, very jerk, a little "ruthless" feeling. But now, I look at him from a different angle. He's just being himself.
Just like Mr. Zha in the social network, when he went to talk to his ex-girlfriend later, he didn't feel like a jerk at all. For him, he was just mad at the time and wrote a diary about his ex-girlfriend getting mad, and he did. He doesn't feel like an asshole because he doesn't care what other people say. In his mind, others are too LOW, what qualifications do you have to evaluate me.
When the CEO of McDonald's kicked out the business partner and President Zha kicked out the CFO, I believe they didn't feel guilty. It's just what they should have done, and they have done it, in order to make the company better.
woz told Jobs that your product is much better than your character, and Jobs said that's okay, that's what he meant. Jobs didn't care about the Apple II at all. It was just the past, and the MAC conference was in front of him. The first task was to do a good job in the conference. It has something to do with Apple II. Why should I thank you? I don't need to say thank you so I won't thank you, I don't think I'm an asshole and I don't care. You say I'm an asshole, so sorry, no.
I can only say that I didn’t understand it before, it’s really because I was too low, but what inspired me the most in the movie was that he didn’t admit his daughter and didn’t pay the tuition fees. I am very confused, is it not enough to promise such a simple thing? You can say that the boss of McDonald's kicked the founder as a ruthless person, Zong Zha kicked his brother as a black belly, and Steve Jobs's words are nothing. But Steve Jobs' refusal to admit his daughter is really incomprehensible to me. It doesn't make sense.
In fact, the reason is very simple. They think so, so they do it. There is no reason.
When the McDonald's boss and Mr. Zha kicked out their partners, they didn't think it was an immoral thing at first, but then they thought that shopping malls must be ruthless like a battlefield, and they finally decided to kick their partners out. Without this process, they don't think that way at all. They just feel like it's the way things should be done, and they do it.
Jobs also felt that he didn't have this daughter at all. It's useless for you to show me the medical certificate. I don't care about this at all. I don't think it's not. It's that simple. You could say that Jobs' decision to deny his daughter was immoral, but aside from that, Jobs is really good at insisting on his choice. At the end of the film, the daughter asked Jobs why he didn’t recognize him, and Jobs said I didn’t know either. This should be his truth.
So no matter what you do, follow your heart, have a clear goal, and speed up your pace to achieve it as soon as possible. When you fly higher and higher, you can laugh at others.
This is the greatest insight.
===================
After a while, I watched Xu Zhiyuan's dialogue with Chen Jiaying in "Thirteen Invitation", which mentioned excellence and told a story: Gauguin suddenly wanted to learn to paint at the age of 40, he didn't want his wife and children, and went to Paris to learn draw. When he arrived in Paris, he met a girl who admired him very much, and he used her as a model. When he doesn't need this girl, he will do the same thing as when he left his wife and children, even if the girl dies of grief for him. He's "excellent" in terms of achievement, but some people think he's an asshole. Just like those mentioned above.
I discussed this issue with Lao Li, and I said that we all realized that we should follow our hearts, so why are there so many unavoidable situations in practice. Lao Li said:
Are you as good as Gauguin, Jobs, and Zha? If you don't have them, you will end up with everyone calling you a bastard.
