"I, Steve Jobs" isn't a conventional biography but despite this, is a book that I found very interesting. I found it by chance and I think that is a great way to discover the great and perfectionist mind of Steve Jobs. The book is a compilation of anecdotes, thoughts, and mantras that the famous entrepreneur and apple CEO used along with to their many successes and also failures in professional and personal life.

Spanish version:
Aunque "Yo, Steve Jobs" no resulta ser una biografía convencional, "Yo Steve Jobs" es un libro que me pareció muy interesante para decubrir y entrar un poco más en profundidad en la genial y perfeccionista mente de Steve Jobs. Se trata de un recopilatorio de anécdotas, pensamientos y mantras que el famoso emprendedor utilizó a lo largo de sus éxitos y fracasos tanto profesionales como personales.

الكتاب عبارة عن اقتباسات من أقوال ستيف جوبز
في الجزء الثاني منه يذكر الكاتب أهم المحطات في حياته
شخصية فريدة
لديه اعتزاز وفخر شديدين بنفسه وبشركته

من أقواله :
" نحن لا نعتقد أنه سيكون هناك اندماج بين صناعة التلفزيونات وصناعة أجهزة الكمبيوتر
فنحن نعتقد أنك تشاهد التلفزيون لتعقل عقلك
وتعمل على الكمبيوتر عندما تريد أن تعمل عقلك"

الكتاب غير متماسك بالمرة
فكرة المقولات المتناثرة دي غير مشبعة، ما قربتش من ستيف بالقدر المرجو
بعض الاقتباسات لذيذة بالتأكيد
كان واجب لما نتكلم عن ستيف جوبز ملك الرؤية والفلسفة إننا نتكلم بشكل فيه رؤية وغاية مش مجرد فتافيت زي اللي قرأتها

In coda per entrare

"Prova un po' a spegne e riaccende."

-Non esistono più le mezze stagioni.
- Si stava meglio quando si stava peggio.
- Più sono grandi, più fanno rumore quando cadono.
- Rosso di sera, bel tempo si spera.
- Segui i tuoi sogni: è la strada verso la felicità.
- Aiutiamoli a casa loro.

Un bel dispensario di frasi fatte degne del miglior Coelho, ma lui non aveva la Apple che rimane comunque la Apple.

My Top 3 Steve Jobs' quotes:

1. "People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing and it's totally true and the reason is... is because it's so hard, that if you don't, any rational person would give up. It's really hard and you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it (you don't really love it), you're gonna give up. And that's what happens to most people actually.

If you look at the ones that ended up being "successful" in the eyes of society and the ones who didn't, oftentimes, the ones who were successful love what they did so they could persevere when it got really tough. And the ones that didn't love it... quit... co'z they're sane. Who wants to put up with this stuff if you don't love it?

So it's a lot of hard work and it's a lot of worrying constantly and if you don't love it, you're gonna fail. So you gonna love it, you gonna have passion."

2. You've got to be a really good talent scout co'z no matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people. And you've got to figure out how to size people up fairly, quickly. Make decisions without knowing people too well and hire them and see how you do and refine your intuition and be able to help build an organization that eventually just build itself co'z you need a great people around you.

3. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve's Contradictory statements:
"Good artists copy, great artists steal." and ""It's better to be a pirate than to join the navy."

To:

"We said: We don't see how you can convince people to stop being thieves, unless you can offer them a carrot- not just a stick. And the carrot is: We're gonna offer you a better experience... and it's only gonna cost you a dollar a song."

Well, I am an admirer of Steve Jobs, therefore this "book" has a hard time disappointing in that regard. The book "i, Steve" is not really a book but a collection of SJ quotes from various sources (which is clearly stated). I did really like at the end of all the quotes the timeline of Steve's life start to finish (by year) with all the milestones accomplished by himself and/or the companies he was involved with. Though the only context for each quote is the name of the publication or event and year it originated from, not so much the backstory that led to the quotes. Disjointed but a super quick read.

وقتك محدود لذا لا تضيعه في عيش حياة شخص آخر. لا تحبس نفسك في تجارب الآخرين، بمعنى أن تعيش وفقا للنتائج التي توصل إليها تفكير الاخرين. لا تجعل ضوضاء آراء الآخرين تعلو على صوتك الداخلي و الأكثر أهمية من ذلك أن يكون لديك الشجاعة لتتبع قلبك و حدسك، فهما يعرفان ما ترغب حقا في أن تصير إليه، و كل شيء ما دون ذلك هو أمر ثانوي


يحتوي الكتاب على إقتباسات لستيف جوبز أثناء لقاءاته الصحفية و تصريحاته و لحظات إطلاق منتجات أبل بالإضافة إلى تواريخ مهمة في حياته بدءاً بطفولته مروراً بشبابه و ما قدمه للعالم كمدير تنفيذي لآبل.

Steve Jobs je osoba vrijedna divljenja i kad bih ocjenjivala njega kao osobu, definitvno bi to bila petica. Ali, nažalost, ova knjiga je daleko od toga.

Ne znam zbog čega, možda zbog njegovih uspjeha, zbog njega kao ličnosti, ali ja sam mnogo očekivala od ove knjige. A dobila sam jednu zbrku. Ovdje nisu njegovi citati pomoću kojih bi mi izvukli ono najbolje, koji bi nam pomogli da se pokrenemo u životu, ništa misaono i dubokoumno. Ovdje kao da su dali nekome da nasumično bira neke njegove izjave iz intervjua koje je radio tokom života. Mnogo je sličnih koje se ponavljaju. Ono što se meni svidjelo i što je vrijedno pažnje moglo je stati na 10 stranica (i to je možda puno).

Drugo, mnogo me smetalo "Epl", "Njuz", itd. Umorila sam se dok sam pohvatala niti.

Iskreno, ovu knjigu ne bih nikome preporučila. Vjerujem da ljudi koji vole Jobsa i koje zanima njegov život mogu pronaći mnogo bolje knjige koje će im nešto zaista i reći o njemu.

Jedino pozitivno je što se brzo čita, pa ako ipak i odlučite da je pročitate nećete izdangubiti mnogo. :D

Lo recomiendo si quieren saber más acerca de "Apple" y de lo que opinaba Steve Jobs con respecto a esto.
Sinceramente no me gustó, me aburrí bastante; y en esta edición es horrible la traducción y tenía errores, además había partes en inglés que no se molestaron en traducir y algunos títulos ni los corrigieron.
[la edición que leí fue la de paidós]

كتاب لطيف يجمع اقتباسات ستيف جوبز بشكل مبوب؛ مع كل اقتباس يدرج مصدر الاقتباس وتاريخه. بالإضافة لطريقة تقديم الكتاب المنظمة، فكرة الكتاب نفسه تعطيك لمحة عن العقل الذي كان يقود ستيف جوبز.

--

مما اقتبست:

"My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better."

"The Lisa people wanted to do something great. And the Mac people want to do something insanely great. The difference shows."

"People judge you by your performance, so focus on the outcome. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1000 things."

Let me start my review with a shocking information at least for me. Steve's biological father was Syrian his name was "Abdulfattah "John" Jandali ", and he gave his son for adaption. So I HOPE YOU WERE HAPPY WITH YOUR DECISION Mr Abdulfattah :\


Back to Steve, every person knows him, whether he works in IT, or not. THIS man was A LEGEND. In this book you'll know about his career life, and little about his personal life. I personally have learned a lot especially I'm a software engineer I can always relate his words to my career life. The man Knew his words. This book is worth reading :)

I like Steve Jobs but this book is like his timeline and quotes jammed in one book. Though in general I prefer reading out of a book rather than a device I won't mind scrolling through Steve's quotes on Goodreads over this because there are repetition of his quotes in the book at different situations. Of course, it's his quotes and he can re-quote himself, but to read it over again and again in one book seems over-quoted. On a positive note, I got to rediscover that almost all of my fav animated movies are from Pixar.
Overall very readable.

كتاب جيد ، لكن لا جديد به تجميع لمقولات ستيف جوبز في المناسبات المختلقة ، هذا الرجل رغم عبقريته لم ينصفه أحد، حتى الفيلم الذي أُنتج عنه لم يكن على قدر عظمته

I had big expectation for this book!
Well let me tell you, this book is not biography, it's more like a collection of short stories and quotes by Steven jobs. One more thing i didn't like is the répétitive stuff!

Traucēja citātu secība, bet kopumā iedvesmojoši. Stīvam bija mērķis, nauda nebija pēc kā viņš tiecās - diemžēl Apple pēc viņa nāves mainījās. Stīva unikālā pieeja lietām un dzīvei ir neaizstājama.

“Jūsu laiks ir ierobežots, tāpēc nedzīvojiet kāda cita dzīvi. Nepakļaujieties uzskatam, ka jādzivo tā, kā paredzējuši citi. Neļaujiet apkārtējo viedokļu troksnim noslāpēt jūsu pašu iekšējo balsi.”

George Beahm has published dozens of books professionally including I, Steve. He has written extensively on Stephen King, starting in 1989. He lives in South Virginia has published books about censorship, sports figures including Patricia Cornwell, J. K. Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, Philip Pullman, Steve Jobs and others. He has published extensively on popular culture and on business topics worldwide. I, Steve was rated as the bestseller by NY Times and Wall Street Journal.

This book I, Steve is based on the life of Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world. This book perfectly depicts the achievements of Jobs in a timely fashion. The book has three things:
1.) The great quotes and his ideas retrieved from his speeches and the digital media and archives. It explains what Steve Jobs is all about.

2.) The timeline of his professional and bit of his personal life.

3.) The reliable sources and websites from where you can get accurate details about the life of Steve Jobs.

The novel has been focused on what Jobs wanted the world to understand about his visions and his ideologies for Apple.

What I learnt from the book and Jobs life is two things:
1.) Never ever share your dreams with other people because they can never understand the depth and importance of it. You are the only who knows how much your ideas can change the world. The people around are tented to discourage you from pursuing your risky dreams but you have to decide; how you want to shape your life, on your dreams or someone else’s? As the Henry Ford said: “If I would have asked the people what they want; they would have said a faster horse”

2.) Secondly, just technology or ideas are not important for someone to succeed. One should have the grace/art factor too. The ideas in itself are never enough until they are presented in an artistic way such that it attracts eyes.
Technology/Ideas + Art = Success

The book is good for an insight into Jobs’ life but it’s not very deep into his personal life. It basically puts some light on his inspiring quotes, achievements, timeline of his life and his dreams for Apple and the people associated with it.

Sam sadržaj knjige nema potrebe da komentarišem, s obzirom na to da je riječ o citatima jednog od najvećih genija - Stiva Džobsa. Kada bih ocjenu svela na to, naravno da bi bila čista petica.

Ono šta, međutim, čini najveći dio problematike je sama straktura i način na koji je knjiga odrađena. Naprosto nisam oduševljena. A trebala bi da budem. Zadatak je bio tako prost, a odrađen je tako površno. Mnogo, mnogo, mnogo toga kreativnijeg se moglo odraditi sa ovim sadržajem.

Ako se pak ograničim na ovu jednostavnost u kreiranju, opet imam zamjerku na samo slaganje sadržaja. Sve mi izgleda tako nabacano i besmisleno, sa dosta ponavljanja.

Svakako, ovo je djelo za istinske ljubitelje Epla, poštovaoce rada i djela Stiva Džobsa. Kao što i naslovna stranica sugeriše - "kolekcionarko djelo".

P.S. Tako malo djelo, tako malo teksta, a pronađoh barem 4 greške u tekstu, iako nisam pomno pratila. Bravo za Vulkan.

“So you can't go out and ask people, you know, what the next big [thing.] There's a great quote by Henry Ford, right? He said, 'If I'd have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me ‘A faster horse.”
some people may see this book as a bunch of quotes , but I see something different the "VISION" , it shows clearly the vision of steve jobs in the whole industry , some important principles in innovation and design !
Great book .

Well, the title of the book is misleading when it says that it is 'Steve Jobs in his Own Words'. The book is not an autobiography, but is a compilation of his outlook on technology, success, health, etc.
Given that it is not a conventional biography, the book did not engage me in its entirety. Steve Jobs although, never fails to motivate. His quotes are inspirational and thought provoking, and picking one as a favorite will be an exigent task.

كتيّب ظريف يحتوي على أكثر مقولات ستيف جوبز شهرة،
سواءاً في البيانات الصحفية في الموقع الالكتروني بشركة ابل،
أو المناسبات الخاصة في اطلاق منتجات ابل الجديدً
يحتوي ايضاً على بعض الاحداث الهامة ونهاية حقبة جوبز طبعا وليس أبل لان أزهى ايام الشركة واكثرها ابداعاً لم تأت بعد كما
صرح جوبز في خطاب استقالته.

The book is more of a collection of short stories and quotes from Jobs life. The writing style, the format is unique but rather disappointing. Definitely a book that I will not recommend to anyone. On the plus point its a short and easy to read book, preferably for tumblr users who scavenge internet for Jobs quotes.

كان دون المستوى، ولاأعلم هل زادت الترجمة تشويهه أم أن المحتوى الأصلي كان هكذا، الاقتباسات كانت أشبه بأخبار متفرقة لارابط بينها من حيث الموضوع أو التسلسل الزمني، نقطة واحدة من أجل قسم الأحداث الهامة مع أنها أيضاً مكررة ومصاغة بطريقة غير مشوقة
