Steve Jobs: Success Is Built on Perseverance

Steve Jobs - Keep Doing Better

Steve Jobs says that perseverance is the main determinant of a success, and urges entrepreneurs to get good stuff out there so others can build on it.

Transcript:


"Most people give up. I don't blame them. It's really tough. I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing. There are such rough moments in time, and it consumes your life. I mean, if you've got a family and you're in the early days of a company, it's ... I can't imagine how one could do it. I'm sure it's been done, but it's rough, I mean, because it's pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, seven days a week for a while. So, unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're going to not survive. You're going to give it up. As somebody once told me, they said, 'Live each day as if it will be your last, and one day, you'll certainly be right.' You know?

If you're going to leave anything behind, it's going to be your kids, a few friends, and your work. Right? That's what I tend to worry about. I think you have a responsibility to do really good stuff and get it out there for people to use and let them build on the shoulders of it and keep making better stuff."

Racism is considered the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges another race. The term is applied in many areas of a society that perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race or strengthen racial inequalities in education, health care, income, and civil rights.

Ever since the 20th century, the concept of biological race is considered a cultural invention that has no scientific basis. The progress over the past half-century has been impressive, but the nation still has a long way to go to reach true racial equality.

A community is so much more than people sharing a space. It's a living, breathing network of connections and shared experiences. While it's usually defined as “a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common,” true community runs much deeper than that.
