Steve Jobs path to success was mainly driven by passion, perfection, and innovation.
Martin Luther King Jr.,, once said “If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.’”
Steve showed that passion every day, which then translated into the creation of amazing products. Products that people actually love, enjoy, and desire at a greater extent.
While perfection does not necessarily exist, Steve made everything look flawless. Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work (Aristotle). In the long run, individuals value attention to detail, and are willing to demonstrate it by all means.
Innovation is well represented in everything that Steve Jobs created, from products to services. Innovation is the creation of better or more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society.
While there are many passionate, perfectionist, and innovative individuals around the world, there are not many like Steve. Why? the answer is not simple, but its evident. It requires a lot more. It demands special talents and numerous other factors that are very much scarce.
To end in a positive note, Steve Jobs will always remain as one of the most successful personas. Steve was able to achieve many extraordinary things on this fast passed and highly competitive word. As we move along, this will help to set new standards, and will continue to drive individuals to a higher degree.
