What Jobs said 35 years ago
In 1988, concerned that the release of the original NeXT computer would be postponed,Jobssaid:
What we’re missing… well, what I’m missing, and what so many of us are missing, is startup perseverance.
In the big picture, it’s a shame to win a few individual battles and still lose the war. We are so focused on the trivial battles that we cannot see the whole war.
Our true war is survival.War here means getting products to market[前に]It’s about not running out of funds.
It seems simple, butAll too often, we lose sight of the big war by focusing on the trivial battles.
For example, if you just ordered people to stop working from home and come to the office every day, then competitors that allow hybrid work will lose their best employees.
There have been cases of people pouring money into getting their startups up and running perfectly, only to end up with a cost structure that doesn’t make them profitable.
On a personal level, even if you can win the battle of weight loss through excessive dietary restrictions, it is impossible to maintain such a strict diet over the long term. Also.
Determine the field you are fighting on
For Jobs, the war was to get the product out in time for the summer shopping season leading up to the back-to-school season, but the PC wasn’t ready to ship until the following year. (When asked if he regretted the late release, Jobs replied, “Late? This computer is five years ahead of its time!”).
War for you, dear readers, is about figuring out what you really want to achieve, and not getting distracted by trifles.
stop here andThink about what wars you want to win.
And think about the battles you’re fighting to win that war.
Aren’t some of those battles likely to lead to long-term success? Let’s retreat from there.
Spend that time on what really matters. By doing so, the odds of winning in the original war will increase.
