“Three Apples” changed the world. The first one seduced (引诱) Eve. The second one awakened Newton. 1. Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.

On Character

I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. 2.

On good design

That’s been one of my mottoes — 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.

On his outlook

3. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.

On your working life

Your work is 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. 4. If you haven’t found it, keep looking. Don’t settle.

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. 5. 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.

A. It’s very character-building.

B. This is not a one-man show.

C. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs

D. And yet death is the destination we all share.

E. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
