.At the age of seventeen, I really went to college. But I was a stupid school. It was almost as expensive as Stanford. My parents were still in the blue-collar class. They spent almost all their savings on my tuition.
After six months, I could no longer see the value of it. I don’t know what I really want to do, nor do I know how college can help me find the answer. But here, I almost spent all my parents’ savings in my life. So I decided to drop out of school. I think this is the right decision. I can’t deny that I was really scared at the time, but now looking back, it was indeed the best decision in my life.” Jobs talked on the stage.
It's also interesting. Whether it's Bill Gates who founded Microsoft or Jobs who founded Apple, both of them learned to start businesses like college. From this point of view alone, it seems that one can come to a conclusion, that is, four, but only geniuses can play in this industry.
However, Jobs turned to laugh and said, "It is said that Mr. Fan from Fan's Investment Group has never even attended high school. Later, he went directly to university. He did not follow the rules in college and did not study those courses in college. It seems that Mr. Fan, I, Bill Gates, and the three of us are basically the same type of people."
Fan Wubing smiled slightly and said nothing. As Jobs said, his four universities are indeed messing around. As for what the graduate courses are, I have never read them at all. But I went back several times and just gave reports to my juniors.
"I'm very lucky because I found something I loved very early. Woz and I started Apple in their parents' garage when they were twenty. We worked very hard. Ten years later, the company grew from the poor boys in those two garages to more than 4,000 employees, and a big company worth more than 2 billion. In the ninth year of the company's establishment, we just launched the best product, which is heart. I was almost thirty. In that year, I was fired." Jobs looked at the amazing eyes of many people in the audience.
, said with a wry smile. "How could you be frying abalone by the company you founded yourself? Well, when Apple was about to grow up, we hired a very talented guy to manage this with me. The company worked very well in the first few years. But then we had a disagreement about the future and we finally started arguing. When the argument was too big, the board of directors stood on his side. So at the age of thirty, I was furious and all the pillars of my life were far away from myself. It was a devastating blow."
"In the next five years, I founded a company, and a company, and then met the elegant woman who became my wife today. I became the first computer-made animated film in the world, Toy Story, and the most successful computer-making studio in the world. In a series of operations, Apple acquired it. Then I returned to Apple. We, the technology we showed played a key role in the revival of Apple. And, together with my wife, I built a happy and perfect family."
"It's very certain that if I wasn't fired by the apple, one of these things wouldn't have happened. This, the taste of good medicine is too bitter, but I think patients need it. Sometimes, life will pick up a brick and slap it on your head, and don't lose faith. I know very well that the only thing that keeps me going is that I do something I love. You need to find what you love, for work, and for your lover. Your work will occupy a large part of life. Only by believing that what you do is a great job, can you be content with your heart. If you haven't found it yet, then continue to look, don't stop, just look with all your heart, when you find it, your heart will tell you. Just like any sincere relationship, it will only get closer and closer as the years go by. So keep looking until you find it, don't stop!"
Without any suspense, Jobs' speech at Peking University was a huge success, and enthusiastic students also asked him all kinds of tricky and weird questions. Jobs answered one by one in his unique humorous way, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Fan Wubing watched coldly, and now everyone's most concerned issue is still focusing on Jobs's rough-up entrepreneurship. It is obvious that the current impetuous aura brought by the Internet boom is still wandering on campus and has not left for a long time.
This made Fan Wubing feel a little emotional. Some young people are always unwilling to do things down-to-earth and always want to soar to the sky. In fact, opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. Without the fanatical pursuit of personal and personal computer careers, it is probably unlikely that Jobs and Bill Gates will choose to learn.
In fact, I lost a person who created his own business empire after learning orchid. When I made a choice, the spark of entrepreneurial enthusiasm and inspiration in my thoughts could no longer be controlled. It was a kind of leaking point, a natural inevitable choice.
If this is not the foundation, the building learning can only be learned roughly, but unfortunately many people cannot see this clearly.
Jobs came to China just right, just as the university started, especially freshmen who had more aspirations for university life, so they were very interested in this kind of activity. If it were a different time, or if it was a crowded situation, it might not be as hot as it is now.
The government also paid full attention to Jobs' visit to China. This matter was also mentioned in the evening news. The next day, Fan Wubing invited Jobs to discuss related cooperation projects with him.
It has to be said that both of them are doing big things, so the negotiations were settled in just a few words.
For Apple, it is extremely tempting for the huge market in mainland China, and for Fan's Investment Group, it does not want this cake to fall into the hands of others. Therefore, both sides are relatively restrained when negotiating conditions, and there is no fierce confrontation, and a cooperation agreement is soon reached.
However, Jobs discovered a very strange phenomenon, and Fan Wubing seemed a little restless.
"Why is Mr. Fan abstaining from his will?" Jobs asked directly.
Fan Wubing scratched his head and said, "I just think there seems to be something very bad to have. This is really a very strange feeling.
"Is it the intuition of a genius?" Jobs said jokingly.
Fan Wubing shook his head and said seriously, "It feels bad, it is very bad, a feeling I have never had before."
"Is it because of the cooperation between Fan and Apple? All the relevant conditions we have put forward," said Jobs.
"You know I didn't mean that. Fan Wubing said very cautiously, "My feelings come from the outside."
In the evening, Fan Wubing held a dinner for Jobs, invited prominent figures from the capital to participate, and invited bands to entertain themselves. Some performances of wealthy Chinese folks were also brought to the stage. In short, Jobs was very happy and expressed his gratitude to Fan Wubing, claiming that this was the happiest day in recent years.
In other words, while the banquet was underway, Fan Wubing's cell phone and Jobs' cell phone rang almost at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they picked up each other.
After listening to the other party's words, Jobs's expression immediately changed. Fan Wubing also looked a little excited. At this time, more and more people began to see their phones ringing. At the same time, Fan's Investment Group also received the latest news and immediately switched the TV signal and directly projected it onto the large screen projection originally used to play music backgrounds.
"New York was attacked!" Jobs said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "The Gemini Building in the World Trade Center has been hit by a small plane one after another. The situation is critical. There is an office building not far away from nearby. It can be seen clearly. The smoke is rolling on the scene, and both buildings are at risk of collapse at any time."
"Your feeling is really effective. New York has never been attacked like this before," said Jobs.
It would be impossible to say that there was no shock in Jobs' heart. For many years, the United States has never encountered such a thing. It was just Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean. It was quite far from the mainland. Giving Japan ten courage is unlikely to go to the United States. It really doesn't have that strength.
The United States has a very superior geographical location. Canada on the back is sparsely populated, and Mexico is inevitably not capable of confrontation. As for those countries in Latin America, to be honest, can they also be called countries? They are nothing more than some small island countries.
But under this situation, the United States was actually attacked! And it directly crashed into two buildings in the World Trade Center! What does this mean? It shows that the iron-walled air defense system that Americans have always boasted about is simply wishful thinking!
At this time, everyone was a little unable to sit still and the venue dispersed. Jobs was about to rush back to the hotel, intending to figure out what happened as soon as possible, and then when he returned to the United States, new news came again.
Chapter completed!
