steve jobs – gotta love it
John Hagel (@jhagel) Words of wisdom from Steve Jobs:. Without passion, any rational person would give up bit.ly/Y2JmjW via@maverickwomanessence of true grit ness..
jobs (film) notes/quotes
from first video – about 19 min in.. i found that a lot of things in business were folklore..22 min in .. talking about money30 min – keen insight.. when companies start getting bigger – they want to replicate their initial success – so they start to institutionalize process.. to the demise of content…. the best people are the ones that really understand the content.. they are a pain to manage .. but worth it..very end of 1st video and start of 2nd: the disease of believing that an idea is 90% of a company – designing a product is keeping 5000 in your brain.. and remixing them every day.. it’s that process that is the magic..4 min in – in tech – it’s 50 to 1.. so find these players8:38 – i don’t care if i’m wrong.. i”ll admit that often.. what i care about is that we do the right thing…27 min – web is allowing internet to be more about communication than computation – a defining social moment28 min – humans are tool builders.. so we build tools that dramatically amplify our innate abilities.. the bike.. computer will rank near or at the top..31 – picasso – good artists copy, great artists steal..are you a hippie or a nerd
33 min – hippie – via – there is something beyond what we see… life wasn’t about what they saw their parents doing… what causes some people to want to be poets instead of bankers – i don’t think that most of the people i have worked with worked with computers for the sake of computers.. computers were the medium..

Steve would tell you that listening to others is the route to mediocrity. You can’t “think different” when you’re taking your lead from the same people as everyone else.
In an interview with Walter Isaacson for his biography, Jobs said:If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes things worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there’s room to hear more subtle things — that’s when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It’s a discipline; you have to practice it.

It’s like that Schopenhauer quote about the conjurer,” he (jobs)says. When I look blank, he tells me to wait and then dashes upstairs. He comes down a minute later holding a book and reading aloud
He who lives to see two or three generations is like a man who sits some time in the conjurer’s booth at a fair, and witnesses the performance twice or thrice in succession. ..
The tricks were meant to be seen only once, and when they are no longer a novelty and cease to deceive, their effect is gone.
so .. need history.. or to be old.. or to have zoom dance capabilites

The move by eight of Shockley’s employees to launch their own semiconductor operation called Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 marked the first significant modern startup company in Silicon Valley.
[..]
Think of the transistor as the grain of sand at the core of the Silicon Valley pearl. The next layer of the pearl appeared when people strung together transistors, along with other discrete electronic components like resistors and capacitors, to make an entire electronic circuit on a single slice of silicon. This new device was called a microchip. Then someone came up with a specialized microchip that could be programmed: the microprocessor. The first pocket calculators were built around these microprocessors. Then someone figured out that it was possible to combine a microprocessor with other components and a screen — that was a computer.

18 min – design is a method of imagining something that does not yet exist
ie: a nother way
revolution of everyday life.. all designing each day. as the day.
19 min – embracing constraint (that which painfully is), challenging the status quo (it does not need to be this way), summoning courage (you will act before almost anyone else sees your pov)
22 min – most of us good at looking not at seeing
perhaps we focus on that… ie: tech that helps us see with heart via self-talk as data et al…
let’s do this first: free art-ists.

In other words, it’s okay to tell your employees that their work is shit and to park your Mercedes across two handicapped parking spaces—as long as the end result is a successful product.
Somewhere along the way, it seems that Silicon Valley decided that internet connectivity matters more than human connectivity; that a surfeit of technical intelligence can make up for a dearth of emotional intelligence.
