Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
- I was surprised to learn that Steve Jobs did LSD and got a lot of his ideas from his experiences with drugs and spiritual searches. Also, I was surprised that he would verbally abuse his employees. I really admire his determination to keep on going even though he was fired from Apple. He still wanted to created things. Something that I don't admire about him is when he would verbally abuse his employees. Steve Jobs faced a failing item when he was fired from Apple, and he was battling cancer. He kept on going to work on his ideas.
- I noticed that Steve Jobs had a strong determination and he was competitive.
- One part of the reading that was confusing to me was how he got a lot of creative ideas from Zen Buddhism. I would think that Buddhism would make you not worry about technology. Also, Buddhism teaches you to not be greedy, but I think Steve Jobs was greedy when it came to the competition.
- I would ask: What made you want to experiment with LSD? Why didn't you want to go through surgery? I think it would be interesting to know his thoughts on drugs and surgery.
- I think his opinion of hard work is to put your all into the work. I share the same opinion, but I don't share the same opinion on his leadership style. I think there are better ways to encourage your employees.
