One of the many Steve Jobs anecdotes clearly shows us what you need to do if you really want to achieve something, and even more so if it is to make your dreams come true.
He The legacy that Steve Jobs left at Apple is invaluable. Not only from a personal, family, and even monetary value perspective, Apple and Pixar are apt examples of the “legacy” a person can leave behind when they pass away. In each of the experiences and experiences that Jobs taught us, there is a special advice which he transmitted during an interview in 1994 and which is neither more nor less than one of the secrets to success and achieving your dreams.
What was going through the head of little Steve Jobs, 12 years old?
The following excerpt from Steve Jobs’ statement is taken from a interview by the Silicon Valley Historical Association
In fact, I’ve always found one thing to be very true: most people don’t have these experiences because they never ask.
Steve Jobs dreamed of building a frequency meter and had a problemdidn’t have the parts to do it. There was only one person in the world who could help him.was HP co-founder Bill Hewlett. Perhaps in those days (and this era too), talking to a senior executive at a tech brand was a complicated matter. Although Steve Jobs feared causing trouble because at that time he was an “unknown” person.
He got the phone number and He decided to call him to ask what he needed.some spare parts for your meter. He says Bill made fun of 12 year old Jobs but he was lucky and the parts were sent to him. The amazing thing about all this is that not only did he get what he wanted, He found a job at HP and Bill offered him his friendship.. The job in question was a summer job and had to be present on the HP assembly line placing screws in frequency counters like the one Jobs wanted to do in those years.
I just ask and when people ask me, I try to be as receptive as possible, to repay that debt of gratitude. Most people never pick up the phone or call most people. He never asks and that’s what sometimes separates people who do things from people who dream about them. You must act and you must be willing to fail. You have to be ready to crash and have fun with people on the phone (…) If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far.
Follow Steve Jobs’ advice, dare and don’t be afraid to ask or speak up
Maybe shyness and lack of vocabulary can cause nervousness or simply pena for not wanting to talk to a superior or the person who has what we need. Taking the example of Steve Jobs with Bill Hewlett, he needed pieces that were surely surprising for a child of that age, unlike an adult. Whether you’re old enough or not, You have to deal with any type of people in life with your requests, concerns or requests

The difference is whether to act or not to act.. You have to dare to leave the comfort zone, to Don’t question “what would have been” Otherwise it is better to question myself and formulate how I am going to address this person. Whether by phone, email, message or in person, prepare yourself so that you can gain confidence in yourself have enough information about what you want and why you want it. With this security, you can go out into the world and get what you so desire.
We don’t know if Steve Jobs questioned himself as we are telling you now, but he was sure of what he wanted to achieve.. Having this security, only the person could be embarrassed by the way they are and not because of you. SO Asking for something never bothered anyone, just do it politely and correctly.. Remember that sooner or later we will always need support from anyone, anywhere in the world.
