Think Different (Who Was Steve Jobs?)

realize that it is not about to judge his behavior, nor would I ever pretend to say that I knew. I can only comment on what he wrote or was quoted as saying, and what others wrote about him. My sources made ​​it watched and listened to his speech beginning of class 2005 at Stanford University, and to some extent, his appearances on television during the launch of new products or new product innovation.

time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else's life ~ Steve Jobs

Coincidentally, I was able to highlight their fight to stay alive and emotionally and physically because of their long struggle and near-death experience, which ultimately ended when I got a double lung transplant. I also live with the realization of all these years, as he did too, that my time, like his, is limited.

This is why the above quote, attributed to Steve, resonates so well and so deeply to me. I was there and personally I think is very lucky to still be here.

Finally, and why I chose to focus on what I call my philosophy of life, because he was very genuine when he said what he did and, perhaps more importantly, lived that way myself. And as it turned out, I just happen to agree with most of what he had to say about this topic. This is consistent and compatible with the message I always tried to convey through my coaching.

of his personality

Unquestionably, we know that he was a visionary par excellence. He communicated a strong intuitive personality traits or primary intuitor style, "making associations, to realize that the yield of the novel" big picture "of the situation, the free flow of creative ideas, conceiving, designing,. Inducing Intuitors place high value on ideas, innovation, concepts, theories, and long-range thinking. They tend to derive their greatest satisfaction from the world of possibilities ."

of his achievements with Apple in particular to speak to that. It was also stated that:
"have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become, everything else is secondary, the confidence to follow your heart, find what you love, love what you do", which communicates not only intuitive personality style, but maybe even a little romantic.

Steve Jobs is a private man. Although presented as a very charismatic, especially when getting up to promote new and innovative Apple product was an introvert.

We know that he used the word 'love' when he described a series of what he felt were important aspects of how to live your life. We also understand that he appreciates and cares deeply for his family, his wife and four children. These behaviors and traits are associated with a tendency toward this measurement ". Metering is an individual who places a high value on human interaction he / she seeks and enjoys encouraging contact with others and usually tries to understand and analyze their own emotions and those of others. Caring for people and they understand, usually her / him very tricky to 'read between the lines "of what people say and do." However, it seems the best of his "measuring" is limited to his family and perhaps close friends, but not their colleagues and employees at Apple.

He was passionate, demanding, stubborn, and at times unforgiving. But he had the ability to move, to take action to move your ideas forward, and support others in doing the same. It says that Steve is action oriented and Senser, "tend to feel the reality of work and to emphasize the convenience of communication about the reality ."

to summarize what I believe is his style preference and associated back-up styles, I will say that he is strong intuitor, with back-up or secondary styles Senser and measurement. The fourth style, the thinker, who rounded Carl Jung's theory of styles, it is difficult for me to place with Steve. But, having said that, I am going to place his scholar fourth. Of course, he was a thinker. We have all the characteristics of a thinker, but the styles theory, it's all a matter of proportions. My 'thoughts' that was once thoroughly Steve came to the conclusion that his idea could work, he would over his technically skilled employees to work on details. This characteristic is associated with the thinker style.

speech

In 2005, little more than a year after first being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Steve Jobs speaking at Stanford University was the beginning of the ceremony. It would be incomplete to say that a few pearls of wisdom in what he had to say graduates. I touched on a few of them earlier when discussing his personality, but I would like to focus on what we have had to say about "our time on earth." I think this message is very important for us all, especially one that resonates with me. It is, in point of fact, consistent part of my strategic approach to personal coaching.

Your time is limited

is the first of four points from Steve Jobs,

1 Do not waste (your life) living someone else's life.

His place here, it is important to ask: "What are you doing with your time? How well do you know, what is your life purpose, and what are you doing to fulfill that purpose ?"

can determine the answer to how effectively you have to some extent, by examining the level of stress you may be experiencing in your life. How much stress are you feeling, physically, cognitively and behavior? As I have said many times before it comes to compatibility with the essential nature of who you are.

2 Do not be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people thought.

It is important to learn from what others have to learn. Otherwise, for example, why should you listen to and believe in what Steve Jobs had to say? The important point he makes is that once you have collected an adequate amount of information (to specify how much), and then form your opinion. Make sure that the opinion is consistent with where you meet like you. Otherwise, you're inviting trouble into your life. But always remain open to new ideas.

3 Do not let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

This point is pretty much a continuation of the previous explanations. Listen, but do not let your inner voice be compromised. Hold on to yourself, your identity and your truth, regardless of aggression that exists in the world in many forms. When and if you must, be persistent and state your truth.

4 Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

This last point is a little tricky. Steve Jobs was easy to make this statement because it is consistent with them, intuitor (see personality). But what about all the tentacles, and sensers thinkers in the world? My point here is that I agree with most comments. However, depending on one primary style of communication or relations in the world, it all boils down to how one approaches these claims.

I do not agree at all that everything else is secondary. Life, as we all know, is only slightly more complicated than that. What I mean is, that implements a dream at the expense of everything else, it suggests a very selfish, egotistical approach to life. That may be true Steve could consider before making that statement. We all know that we are social beings and that we need meaningful relationships in our lives. To ignore those relationships in order to indulge our passion is unbalanced and unhealthy for all concerned. I'm not saying that you have to sacrifice your dreams, but you have to balance your self in the dimensions of life (at work, away from work, alone, with others ).
