R.I.P Steve Jobs....your intelligence and creativity will be missed!

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?" - words used to lure John Sculley into becoming Apple's CEO, according to Odyssey, Pepsi to Apple.



Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American computer entrepreneur and innovator. A co-founder,chairman, and chief executive officer at Apple.Inc.He inspired many to success!! One of the most successful person in the technology industry, Steve Jobs used his intelligence and creativity in designing and building products in Apple.Just look at where Apple stands today.

I am totally moved and inspired by his intelligence and creativity to success.To me, if you want to be successful, it takes a bold step forward and move on with it. Let's watch the video i posted below....in remembrance of Steve Jobs, The Genius Behind Apple......







these are few of Steve Jobs's inspiring saying and quotes that i want to share with you all....

Don't Sit Still...
“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”
[NBC Nightly News, May 2006]



On the Importance of Death
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."
[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]


On your working life...
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]


Have faith in the future...
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]


On his role at Apple
"This is not a one-man show. What’s reinvigorating this company is two things: One, there’s a lot of really talented people in this company who listened to the world tell them they were losers for a couple of years, and some of them were on the verge of starting to believe it themselves. But they’re not losers. What they didn’t have was a good set of coaches, a good plan. A good senior management team. But they have that now.”
[BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]


On Good Design
“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
[BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]


The best sales line ever...
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"
[The line he used to lure John Sculley into becoming Apple's CEO, according to Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple]

 On design
"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
[BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]



"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do" -Steve Jobs
 
 
 
"Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith." - Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
 
 
 
Rest In Peace Steve Jobs....

BLOG THIS! - LoveThyCurves!: Sebab-sebab org Melayu gagal dalam bisnes

LoveThyCurves!: Sebab-sebab org Melayu gagal dalam bisnes: Interesting read. I shall elaborate more in my later post but for now, enjoy reading! Source Dr Azizan Osman 's Marketing Power Seba...


Hello EVERYBODY =) ,

tengah bekerja ker tu?? mesti busy kan, yerlah dengan date line lagi..and mesti y'all penat coz pergi kerja pagi and balik pun dah lewat petang....i tengah bermain2 dgn my baby you...makin hari makin banyak akal my baby daughter ni :)

anyway, my sis just posted an interesting new post...when i read it through i realized there are few criterias that i fit into (terasa malu pun ada).It really opens up my eyes and see how easily it is for us all to be unsuccessful.And sad to say, it is happening now, it is everywhere, how scary is that? It is like an unstoppable epidemic.


I wonder if those people yang ada all those criteria, do they ever realize that by doing that, they'll get nothing but self satisfaction? yerlah, puas hati dapat hina, dapat maki dan caci, dapat jatuh kan orang.Is that a good thing? You tell me....

Sebab-sebab orang Melayu gagal dalam bisnes

1. Pemberi alasan - "Susah la nak jual corset ni. Ramai dah yang jual. Lagipun aku lelaki kot." "Kat sini TAKDE MARKET la , kawan i dah pernah buat dah"

2. Pemalas - "Malasnya nak pergi ambil stok baru kat gudang."  "Nantilah"

3. Penangguh - "Esok je la pergi ambil stok baru. Sempat lagi. Lagipun bukan ada demand sangat. Hari ni nak lepak-lepak je, dating ke, tengok wayang ke."

4. Perlahan-lahan - "Nak buat bisnes ni kena relax, tak boleh kalut-kalut. Slow-slow la buka kedai. Dorang memang takde pilihan lain dah, area ni aku sorang je buka kedai runcit. Mesti cari aku gak."

5. Penunggu - "Aku rasa kalau aku jual tudung mesti laku, tapi tak de orang la buat lagi. Arghhh! Tunggu je la dulu, kalau dorang buat, untung besar, baru aku jual."

6. Pengikut - "Eh! Jual charkuetiaw macam untung la. Mudah pula nak sediakan. Nak jual juga la. Modal bukan besar sangat pon."

7. Penyibuk - "Agak-agak berapa ye untung kedai depan tu hari ni?"

8. Penuduh - "Ni semua kedai depan tu punya pasal, macam tak boleh jual benda lain je. Tudung juga dia nak jual. Mampus la aku nk survive camni."

9. Pengkritik bukan pelaku - "Ape la dia ni. Tu pon tak reti nak buat, senang je kot. Campur je la air campur dengan batu. Jadilah ABC. Mudah je. "

10. Pertengahan jalan - "Susah la jual baju dalam ni, banyak competition, nak jual baju la pula. Mudah."

11. *Pembiawakan Merujuk kepada sifat sesetengah golongan yang kuat dengki dengan kejayaan orang lain tetapi tidak berusaha untuk lebih berjaya malahan cuba menjatuhkan orang tersebut. Contoh: Seorang lelaki muda memandu kereta Audi meluncur megah disebelah seorang mamat menaiki kapcai. "Eleh! Tu mesti kereta pak dia tu, tak pon kereta company, ataupun dia tu driver VVIP. Jangan harap la muka camtu mampu pakai Audi. Aku yang kerja bertahun-tahun macam nak mati jadi despatch ni pon tak mampu nak pakai. Kerek gila dengan spek hitam segala. Minta-minta dia eksiden kat depan tu. Mati lagi senang. Nyampah aku tengok."



cuba anda renungkan dan fikirkan...anda nak ker jadi mcm kriteria2 disebut di atas tadi? adakah ini yang anda nak tunjukkan pada anak2 anda...do you know that whatever you do secara tak langsung akan menjadi contoh kepada anak anda?? jika anda jenis yang mudah mengalah dan takut pada risiko, secara tidak langsung, contoh tersebut akan memberi kesan terhadap anak anda...tanya pada diri anda...renung sedalam2nya..."Adakah saya mahu anak saya mengikut contoh2 di atas??" ibu bapa lah yang mencorak anak mereka..coraklah mereka dengan semangat positif dan bukan negatif..ingat!! Anak adalah harapan bangsa..anak adalah pembentuk masa hadapan..marilah kita sama2 menolong membentuk masa depan anak kita dan at the same time memperbaiki diri kita sekali..insyaAllah dengan berkat usaha dan semangat yg positif, pasti semua yang kita mahu akan tercapai!!

Till then darlings..have a nice day tau and take care..... =)

to all the readers, everywhere you are, tak kesah ceruk mana pun,marilah sama2 kita memperbaiki diri kita...i pun nak memperbaiki diri i yang tak sempurna ni..jom...buang yang negative...ambil yang POSITIVE!!! 


tak rugi pun,malahan menguntungkan tau =)


p/s: janganlah kita marah bila isu melayu kita mudah gagal dibincangkan, kita melayu mmg TIDAK pernah gagal...tapi disebabkan mentality negative kita ini semua yang membuatkan kita cepat gagal.....kita melayu memang kuat dan gagah...siapa bapa kemerdekaan?? bangsa kita juga...marilah kita semua menukar cara pemikiran kita....hasad dengki itu adalah racun pembunuh jiwa..mahukah kita membunuh jiwa kita sendiri? semestinya jawapannya TIDAK kan? marilah kita semua buang yg negative dan ambillah yang POSITIVE! masih belum terlambat..inilah masanya!!

tata!!
