There is no doubt that Steve Jobs is considered by many, besides the founder of Apple, as one of the most brilliant and innovative people that have existed in our recent history. We can all agree that Jobs marked a before and after in the technological field, especially because of the revolution of mobile devices with the launch of the iPhone.
But in addition to having great intelligence and innovation to create new companies or technologies, although always with his personal quirks, he also stood out for the many tips he offered us or the techniques that other great innovators applied in their daily lives. One of the ideas he wanted to convey to us was his conception of intelligence.
Steve Jobs has an idea of who is smart
It was in 1982 that Steve Jobs gave a speech to the Academy of Achievement, where he shared some really interesting ideas that can be applied today. A priori, when we talk about intelligence, we all relate it to a person who has a great memory or a lot of knowledge.
But for Jobs, there is another situation in which a person can be considered intelligent: when he has the ability to distance himself from a specific situation to see it in its entirety. This is something that we see a lot today, and precisely on many occasions. we focus on very specific things about a problem. But to solve it, we must consider the situation as a whole.
“And while other people are trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B, by reading these stupid little maps, you can see it in front of you. You can see everything. And you can make connections that seem obvious to you, because you can see everything.”Steve Jobs commented to explain his idea. It is similar to what a computer or artificial intelligence does, which takes into account all the variables to come up with an answer.
This is a capacity that, like memory, many people do not possess or have not developed properly. Surely in your case, if you are a decisive person who goes beyond the problem you have in front of you for the job You can consider yourself an intelligent person.
If we apply this idea to Jobs’ environment, one of the clear examples we can have in mind is surely that of Steve Wozniak, partner and founder of Apple. Without a doubt, a person who met these requirements of intelligence and who grew up contributing to the company with the creation of the Apple I, as well as collaborating with other ideas.
