he easiest (or the literal) way to be
Steve Jobs is to imitate his dress up. Go to a nearest clothing store and find
the following items:
·
Black
mock turtleneck
·
Faded
blue jeans, and
·
White
sneakers
Let me simplify this for you. Get the
following brands:
·
St.
Croix Sweater
·
Levi’s
501 Blue Jeans
·
New
Balance Running shoes
There are dozen other things you need
to do: Be a pescetarian (vegetarian who eats fish); sometimes experiment with
an all apple diet (Jobs did that because he thought it might allow him to stop
bathing. He stank). Drop out of school. Do not attend the colleges. Go for the
spiritual adventure. Do Drugs. And the list goes on…. Oh wait, one more thing,
walk barefoot when you go on a walk with someone (in case of Jobs, Bill Gates
and Gil Amelio).
Now who am I kidding to? Just trying to
be like Steve Jobs doesn’t make you him. He is a LEGEND. (Vh1) Get with it. In the
words of Kurt Cobain, “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the
person you are.” Well, trying to be like Steve Jobs is not about
following his footsteps one-by-one. It’s about his implicit principles and
approach to what he does. And again, you don’t necessarily need to follow those
principles. However, following is the list of things that can help you get on
with your life and success as Steve Jobs did:

☞ Don’t take guesswork.
☞ Ask yourself this question: If it
wasn’t for money, how would you do something?
☞ Never Compromise.
☞ Don’t give up!
☞ Don’t be a bookworm. Read other
journals and magazines.
☞ Be rude. Be firm.
☞ Engage in intellectual combat.
☞ Develop a sense of humor. A good sense
of humor.
☞ Develop your presentation skills. Be
the soul of the session or stay home.
☞ Get down with details.
☞ Don’t be an emotional douche.
☞ Be mysterious. Learn to keep the best
part secret until the moment is in your favor.
☞ Be a Renegade
Reveal a “Holy Sh*t” moment.
Have a backup plan. For

outta women.
Make it look effortless.
Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.
Jobs used to spend several weeks for his keynote presentation.
Lastly… Never get so busy making a
living that you forget to make a life. Jobs only took $1 as his salary from
Apple Inc.
A word of advice: Formal education
makes you a living; Self-education makes you a fortune.
Stay hungry, Stay foolish.
