b.Show - Jobs (乔布斯)

The last part is here:   Shows - Mongol (蒙古王) and 止杀令 

The show is here:   Jobs (乔布斯)

This is one of the most important shows that you must watch.

Let's not concentrate on his negativity. To be great, he needs to be an asshole. Doing business is a battle that will consume your entire life. If not careful, even if your enemies didn't consume you yet, it might then consume you with the death sentence - cancer. Therefore, never go into battle unless you are absolutely clear about what you want to achieve. Do your temple studies.

I am not saying you must be a bastard when doing business. What I am driving at is You must never look down on what ugliness can be brought against you when you are down and out. There is simply no charity show.

What Steve Jobs has done is absolutely correct. He must be. He made his company the most valuable company in the world in 2011-2012. He never fight the market, he fought only himself. He would not bring to this world any sub-standard products. He only wants the very best (sometimes, he even steal the best for you). That is the most important aspect of business - quality and of course, quality includes creativity. Lot of businesses failed because they are trying to be the same as the others, but try to be cheaper and quicker at it. Herein lies the paradox - how can something be good and yet can be constructed at a lower cost than the existing products? You are assuming the rest of the playing field are dumb. I am afraid that can hardly happen. You must assume your competition to be smart, if not smarter than you, only then will you find the best way. The mantra about Cheaper, Bet­ter, Faster obviously speaks ill of the originator. He was quite dumb and clueless about business.

I noticed a deep link between Steve Jobs and Genghis Khan. Both were enslaved by their companies. Both were very ambitious. Both achieved super greatness within a very short time. Both died at the same young age. Both legacies didn't last. I should not discuss further on this point. I leave it as an exercise for the young minds to practise. The question is: Why didn't the legacies last?

It was the mantra of quality that I have been practising for the last umpteen years. I can tell you with no uncertainty. It works 100% of the time. With quality, price will come later.

Steve Jobs has burnt his life force to bring us the goodies. But, I don't wish to die at age 64. I do believe there is however a better way. (._.)

Let's enjoy the show ...
