　まあ、それはそれ・・


This is a book about the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality
of acreative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive
revolutionized six industries;

personal computers,
animated movies,
music,
phones,
tablets computing,
and digital publishing.




He was not a model boss or human being, tidily packaged for emulation.

Driven by demons, he could drive those around him fury and despair.
But his personality and passions and products were all interrelated,
just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be,
as if part of an integrated system.
His tale is thus both instructive and cautionary,
filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership,and values.




"I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid,
but I liked electronics," Steve said.



"I began to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness
was more significant that abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis."



"Coming back to America was, for me, much more of a cultual shock than going to India."

インドで学んだことは、直感の大切さ

"Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect,
in my opinion.
That's had a big impact on my work."

"Zen has been a deep influence in my life ever since."

　「現実歪曲空間」・・

"The reality distortion field was a confounding melange of
a chrismatic rhetorical style, indomitable will, and eagerness to bend
any fact to fit the purpose at hand," Hertzfeld said.

"Amazingly, the reality distortion field seemed to be effective
even if you were acutely aware of it.
We would often discuss potential techniques for grounding it,
but after a while most of us gave up, accepting it as a force of nature."



"Steve had a way of motivating by looking at the bigger picture."

He once took the team to see an exhibit of Tiffany glass at the Metropolitan Museum
in Manhattan.




　
　いろいろ毀誉褒貶ありつつも、ジョブズによって私たちが初めて知ったことは多いです。

"Even though Steve didn't draw any of the lines,
his ideas and inspiration made the design what it is," Oyama later said.

"To be honest, we didn't know what it meant for a computer to be
'friendly' until Steve told us."
