How Steve Jobs Started – Infographic

Apple just announced its first new product category since the iPad. And since Steve Jobs. Follow his life path to see how he learned to create and think like a genius.

How Steve Jobs Started – The Winding Path

As people around the world wondered if innovation at Apple had stopped with Steve Jobs, we want to share with you a snapshot of the genius’s life.
How did Steve Jobs start? His life story is not a straight line, but more like a winding path. From his early years it’s clear that Jobs had no grand plan in the beginning. His search for himself took Jobs through India, Buddhism, psychedelic use, attempts to become an astronaut and start a computer company in the Soviet Union.
However winding his path at time, Jobs did find inspiration and creativity in himself at certain periods of his life. If there is a pattern of creativity and genius that his life can reveal, here is his timeline.

Keep Looking, Don’t Settle

Steve Jobs summarized his guiding principle in life in 2005 at the commencement at Stanford in a talk titled “How to Live Before You Die”. He said, You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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. Don’t settle.

And One More Thing

“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith,” said Steve Jobs.

Most of the facts in the timeline came from Walter Isaacson’s biography Steve Jobs.

This biography is unusual in the sense that Jobs gave the author complete freedom – he didn’t edit, review or even read the biography. On top of that, Jobs encouraged the author to talk to his former girlfriends, enemies, and employees he fired. Why? Throughout the biography, Jobs’s brutal honesty comes across. Somehow it co-exists with his ability to hype things up. Jobs is not trying to make you like him. But he really wants you to care about what matters to him.
One of the first things we learn about Jobs in the book is that he himself studied biographies of his heroes. Polaroid co-founder, Edwin Land, impressed on him the importance of people who understood both the humanities and the sciences, creating something at the intersection of the two. He just that. Friends from the early days shed light on how Steve Jobs acquired his “reality distortion” – he perfected two skills: staring a person in the eye, and practicing long periods of silence. Combining showmanship, technical knowledge and salesmanship, he became a true hybrid. The biography manages to show Jobs this multi-dimensional personality, with his many contradictions on full display: he does primal scream therapy, audits physics classes at Stanford, grows apples on a commune farm in Oregon, and wants to dedicate his life to spirituality. Conflicted, he unleashes his erratic management style on his many loyal employees at Apple. Once fired, he soul-searches again and comes back a new man, the one most of us know about.
The story doesn’t end here. Four years later, another biography Becoming Steve Jobs came out to challenge what some people thought was an incomplete picture of Jobs’ personality. While Isaacson’s book focused more on personal life, Becoming Steve Jobs by Brent Schlender chronicles the business decisions and products.
To understand how Steve Jobs’ role in the history of computers fits with others like Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Paul Allen, Tim Berners-Lee, a comprehensive look at the the entire timeline from Isaacson The Innovators by Walter Isaacson will put Steve Jobs’ legacy into context.

Movie directors made many attempts to capture Jobs’ complex persona on screen. The most successful of them is Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999). Even though Jobs himself disliked the script and the director, he liked the acting of his character and personally reached out to him. The latter two movies Jobs (2013) with Ashton Kutcher and Steve Jobs (2015) with Michael Fassbender are generally incomplete and non-chronological.
Although we don’t have anyone quite like Steve Jobs now, Elon Musk is often compared to him. It turns out the two did meet in person, but the encounter did not go well. Perhaps the world is not looking for a next Steve Jobs, but I think we expect that it takes someone with a vision as big as his to lead this world forward.

How Mark Zuckerberg Started – Infographic

Mark Zuckerberg meets a computer

His father, although not an engineer, was an early computer enthusiast. Running a dental office he had a vision that computers would change the way people communicate. But for the time being he used them for taking scanning people’s mouths. At age 10 Mark was bored with school. His father noticed and introduced him to his Altair computer. Together they wrote a program that connected the computer at home with the computer in the office. They called it “ZuckNet.” It alerted doctor Z, as he is known, when a patient arrived. It worked better than having the receptionist yell, “Patient here!”

Mark Zuckerberg starts hacking

Mark quickly learned everything his father knew about computers. He started studying with a tutor. Then he started taking a college class in computer science while still in middle school. He read books. But he really started learning to code when he transferred to a private school where he met a programming whiz kid Adam D’Angelo. Together they started hacking. They made an artificially intelligent music player that learned the user’s music taste. Soon Microsoft found out about it and offered money and a job. Zuckerberg was not interested.
There is a running theme in how Mark Zuckerberg started. He would be offered millions and even billions at least 11 times since then, and every time he walked away. He might have a bigger plan every time.

__________

Most of the facts in the timeline are based on David Kirkpatrick’s book The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World.

After watching The Social Network, I wanted to find out how truthful that account of Facebook’s creation was. I turned to the books. Among all Facebook related books The Facebook Effect stands out as the only account where the famously elusive Mark Zuckerberg talked to the author and pulled back the curtain on some of the processes inside.
In the first half of the book you learn the troubled, and sometimes chaotic, history of Facebook’s creation. We learn that Mark Zuckerberg used the time he saved from not attending classes to create the first version of the website. He also used the site to help himself pass an art history class by posting pictures of paintings and asking classmates to post notes next to each. Soon after Facebook was launched, Zuckerberg realized he needed help. His roommate Dustin Moskovitz became the person who woke up every morning fearful that competing websites were going to speard to other colleges – this fear fueled the fast expansion of the early Facebook. Zuckerberg, pragmatic as he was, rewarded Moskovitz with giving him more equity.
The book doesn’t worship Zuckerberg, pointing out his unusual social ways on many occasions. Still, the athor attempts to show what makes Zuckerberg work: how he makes decisions about his company, and what sort of people he surrounds himself with.

All told, the book and the movie are worlds apart. While the movie The Social Network paints a compelling picture of a sociopath who got lucky, the book shows the actions and people that actually lead to Facebook’s rise, such as Zuckerberg crying on the bathroom floor of a restaurant

How Bill Gates Started – Infographic

It was a regular day in the Gates household. When the family was getting ready and Bill, known in his family as Trey, was still downstairs, his mother called down to his room in the basement, “Trey, what are you doing down there?”
“I’m thinking, mother. Don’t you ever think?” he shot back.

Bill Gates’s father was a lawyer. A very successful one. His mother a teacher. Reading business magazines in middle school, Bill Jr. had a different dream – to open a company. You could say that’s how he started – with a childish dream. Many kids have dreams, though. How was he different?

How Bill Gates  Started To Hack

Next, Bill Gates saw a computer at 13. The school he went to bought one machine and a teletype. He paid for the time to use it. When money ran out, he hacked into the computer to use it for free. Then he got banned by the school. Then the school realized he had a rare skill so they asked him to use the computer and help them find bugs. He started to be a hacker.
Bill Gates believes he can improve the way he thinks in general. He suggests and himself practices “brain rules” from the eponymous book by John Medina. The rules explain how the brain works from musical memory to the ability to play baseball.
Since this is an infographic blog, I should mentioned that Bill Gates, is specifically concerned about the trend to distort facts and data with infographics. To spot visual lie and learn what statistics actually say he recommends a very old but spot-on book How To Lie With Statistics.

Started to Hustle

Next, Bill scored 1590 out of 1600 on SAT. He went to Harvard. Only to find himself unsure about where to start – as a pre-law major or as something else? Reading Popular Mechanics one day in college he read an ad about a new computer. He called them to say that he wrote a programming language for it. (He hadn’t.) He asked if they might buy it. He hadn’t even started to write the language. But, he started to be a hustler. And, yes, the computer company was very interested in buying.

Being a Workaholic

Next Bill sat down with his friend Paul from high school, and the two wrote that programming language that he talked about on the phone. Bill wrote 50% of the code, using Harvard’s computers. Bill coded all day long, slept at the computer, woke up and picked up programming exactly where he left off. Bill started to be a workaholic.

Being a Copyright Guru

When they were done, Bill flew to New Mexico to show this new language he had written called BASIC. The computer company bought it for $3,000. But Bill kept the copyright. Did he somehow know it would be worth a lot in the future? So he started to be a copyright guru.

Started to Visualize the Future

Five years later IBM knocked on Bill’s door to see if he had written an operating system they could buy. Bill hadn’t. But he said, “Yes.” Real quick, he found an operating system from another person in Seattle and bought it. With the copyright. Then he sold it to IBM. For a lot more. This was DOS. And without copyright – they never asked for it. “Who would pay for software?” they reasoned. It’s the hardware that people are after. Bill saw the opportunity to make people pay for software. Bill started to see the future. He was now a visionary.

Bill Gates Started to Be a Perfectionist

Then Steve Jobs showed up. He wanted Bill to write new software that was visual. Programs like Excel and Words. Programs that looked human. Bill got down to work. Jobs thought Bill’s team’s product was tasteless, but Bill kept at it. He got better and better until he got really good. Bill started to be a perfectionist.

Being a Visual Thinker

But Bill was not going to spend his life working on Jobs’ brilliant ideas. Ideas, after all, are worthless until executed. Plus, Jobs’ ideas were stolen anyway. And so it was fair game to do the same. Bill remembered where he saw this idea of visual interfaces – it was Xerox. And now he wanted to create a visual operating system of his own. He called it Windows. He started to be a visual thinker.

Being a Tough Cookie

When Jobs heard about Windows, he went ballistic. He lashed out at Bill calling him down to Cupertino. In front of ten Apple employees Jobs accused Gates for robbing Apple. Bill listened calmly and replied that Jobs stole the idea just as he did himself. Bill started to be a tough cookie.
When Windows launched, Bill visualized a world where every home had a computer, and that computer was running Windows. Bill started to become very rich. And as his vision materialized, by 39 he became the richest man in the world.

__________

Most facts in the timeline are based on bio from Bill Gate’s website and Walter Isacson’s book The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution.

This book is not entirely about Bill Gates.. but the book do have in depth story about how Bill Gates start microsoft.
The Innovators is Walter Isaacson’s revealing story of the people who created the computer and the Internet. It is destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens.

Bill Gates has not written a book laying out exactly how he built Microsoft. He gave no easily applicable recipes in the books that he did write. Still. We know that from early childhood Bill Gates has been reading an extraordinary number of books, a habit he contunues to have to this day. So when he says that some book ais a favorite of his, is comes from a large sample. Among all business books he has read, Gates singled out a classic old book that lays bare the inner workings of Wall Street Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street.
