Personal Background

Steve Jobs

Apple Computer

3-year return: 26%

Age: 42

CEO since: 1997

Here's a guy with enough knowledge, ability and brainpower to effectively hold down two CEO jobs at once-and do a pretty amazing job at both. We've listed him for his post at Apple, but of course Steve Jobs also runs Pixar, the animation company. Coming in after a $ I billion loss in fiscal 1997 ,Jobs turned a $ 106 million profit-38 percent above Wall Street's consensus target. A lot of credit goes to a very simple idea: Make computers in different colors. Jobs was the only one who thought to make it hap pen. The colorful mid-priced iMac has also succeeded by playing down the compatibility (蒹容性) problem. Apple positioned it as the machine for the Internet, where compatibility questions are no big deal. Behind the scenes, Jobs streamlined the product line ,and also did a whole series of work for improving and selling the production. Mean-while, over at Pixar, A Bug's Life nabbed a total $ 159 million in domestic box office ,the highest domestic animated take since Toy Story and third highest ever. after Toy Story and the leader, The Lion King.

Business philosophy: "The technology isn't the hard part. The hard part is: who's going to buy it. How are they going to buy it? How do you tell them about it?"

How he got the job: The Apple board begged him to return.

Management Style: At Apple, Jobs is a micromanager-some say nanomanager who changes mood suddenly and unexpectedly. Virtually every decision goes by him. At any time, 10,000 employees are wondering.  " What would Steve say?" not " What is the right thing to do?" said a former Apple executive. At Pixar, realizing that he isn't a film visionary, he leaves the experts to their knitting.

Financial reward: His Apple rewards are minimal--a salary of one dollar a year so that his family is eligible for the health plan. But his 69 percent share of Pixar is worth about $ 1. 3 billion.

Some Simple Keys to Transform Your Life

The Power of choice

Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.    71    When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how d01 act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive,  or do I actively set clear intentions and create what l want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.

72

If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.

It's the intention.

73    The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. The matter itself is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. The key is that what decision you make. You are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all. If it later turns out that you seem to have made a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.    74

What's best for me, too!

Choosing what's best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. Another example ,a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money.    75     So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for others.

A. How do you make choices?

B. Discuss them together to choose your project.

C. But how do I know what is really best?

D. What is important is that we should pay attention to this presence.

E. So it is very important for you to take good care of yourself.

F. Even small or unimportant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.

G. This then allows you to improve your decision, and make a right one.

Dear Mr. Green,

I'm very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together. That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that.

Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea.”Cultural Express" give us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different part of the world have different values, it's necessary to learn from each another. Apart from that, "Blurt Out" is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English. "Entertainment" is also cool! The popular singers, actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can't miss this part. Teenagers are to fond of popular things, too.

Well ,I can't list more.  I really can't wait to read this magazine.

Yours,

Li Ming
