Make something wonderful
I liked it very much.I think it should include more history
on Apple and more computery stuff.(written from iPad)
Amazing life, amazing read…
Reading the words of someone who, not long ago, walked this earth but is no longer among us is both heartbreakingly chilling and deeply inspiring.
Steve Jobs lived with a remarkable sense of urgency, almost as if he knew his time on earth would be short.
Make Something Wonderful was an incredible read. It left me inspired to live more intentionally and with greater purpose. Experiencing a life so fully lived through the pages of this short yet profoundly moving book was a privilege. I, too, have heeded the call to remember that “You appear, have a chance to blaze in the sky, then you disappear.”
My key takeaways from the book:
• Life is short, make the most of it while you can.
• Idealistic desires are not a flaw. Instead of forcing my way through the world, I should learn to flow with the symphony of life, trusting that it will carry me where I need to go.
• The world’s most extraordinary creations are not magical mysteries; they were built by humans just like you and me.
• Don’t be afraid to fail.
• We are all capable of creativity. Creativity is simply connecting previously unrelated experiences and insights in ways others don’t yet see.
