Strive for Perfection and Nothing Less
Jobs wasn’t looking only to beat out the competition — he wanted to be at the top. This meant that he wasn’t about to sacrifice quality to meet deadlines. The phrase “it’s not possible” wasn’t a way out. Whatever it was had to get done and done right, end of story.
This belief in perfection was directly in line with Apple’s core values and their message to “think different.” Jobs was notorious for badgering engineers, artists, agencies, and production lines, but it was all in pursuit of being the best. This dedication to its brand image is something that helped Apple become a cultural icon and tech giant the world over.
Although Jobs passed away back in 2011, his legacy still lives on through Apple. His personal beliefs helped him find resounding success in all that he did, from creating companies to changing people’s minds. These lessons can also help you lead a life where nothing is impossible, especially if you think different.
