Sometimes it is enough to find certain anecdotes or advice that can be adequate for particular moments in our lives. It is no secret that \u00a0Steve Jobs\u00a0 has inspired thousands of people and continues to do so. A speech delivered <a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ymbD_a-G1IQ?si=Y0uKhxtZB1FLSctI\" target=\"_blank\">in 1982 by Apple&#8217;s co-founder at the Academy of Achievement<\/a> includes parts that have not gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --><\/p>\n<h2>Much Is Talked About Intelligence<\/h2>\n<p>Many believe that \u00a0intelligence\u00a0 is the key to achieving great accomplishments in life and is directly related to the \u00a0intellectual coefficient (IQ)\u00a0. However, others argue that intelligence isn&#8217;t solely determined by IQ. Indeed, some assert that intelligence is secondary to achieving milestones and that it is of little use without \u00a0well-defined goals\u00a0, action plans, and above all, \u00a0discipline\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 -->  <\/p>\n<h2>But What Did Jobs Think?<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/br.ign.com\/steve-jobs\/128346\/news\/nem-uma-grande-memoria-nem-conhecimento-sobre-tudo-para-steve-jobs-o-que-uma-pessoa-realmente-inteli\" target=\"_blank\">IGN<\/a>, Jobs had a distinct perspective on what it means to be intelligent. He believed that true intelligence lies in the ability to perceive things not as isolated incidents but as part of a larger framework. To achieve this, it is essential to step back and view a problem or situation as if one were looking down from a skyscraper. Let\u2019s delve into precisely what Jobs articulated:<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have reflected a little about this, and one of the things that I think is important is that it has a lot to do with memory, but also with the ability to get away a little, as if you were in a city and you could see everything from the 80th floor, looking down. While others try to discover how to go from point A to point B reading those absurd maps, you can see everything in front of you.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This successful businessman continues to explain that this ability to step back enables us to view things as a whole and to make connections that may seem glaring from that elevated perspective. \u201cTherefore, brilliant people often feel guilty, because they come up with things that simply say, &#8216;look at this,&#8217; and other people give them silly awards and feel strange,\u201d he remarked, precisely during a ceremony honoring significant achievements.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n<pre><code> &lt;img alt=\"The true legacy of the founder of Duty Free: how Chuck Feeney inspired Bill Gates and Warren Buffet\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/c339b2\/millonarios-filantropos\/375_142.jpeg\"\/&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Other Ideas<\/h2>\n<p>For \u00a0Bill Gates\u00a0, another titan in the tech world, success involves weighing the \u00a0worst\u00a0 and \u00a0best scenarios\u00a0. The co-founder of Microsoft values attributes like \u00a0reading\u00a0 and exercising memory, as he is known for maintaining a vast \u00a0library\u00a0 and dedicating a substantial amount of his time to reading. \u00a0Warren Buffett\u00a0, on the other hand, asserts that the key to success lies in the often underestimated virtue of \u00a0time\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --> <\/p>\n<p>In a world saturated with information and \u00a0advice on achieving success\u00a0, the insights from these luminaries underscore that true achievement comes from a combination of unique perspectives, tenacity, and a willingness to learn.
