Not many things can guarrantee success in our world. John\nSculley, a former chief executive of Apple and a longtime business expert, says\nthe best chance is to choose “purose-driven life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scully called on young people to pay attention to the lesson\nhe learned from technology icons Steve Jobs and Bill Gates about 40 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My advice to you is … (to) choose a purpose-driven\nlife\u201d, said the 80-year-old man in a recent speech to Thomas Jefferson\nUniversity graduates in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scully said his eyes opened for the first time the idea of\n\u200b\u200ba “goal” in the 1980s. At that time, both Gates and Jobs were\nworking on their “noble causes” to enable people to access technology\nwith ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scully remembers first hearing the term \u201cnoble causes\u201d used\nby Jobs and Gates. He moved from Pepsi to Apple in 1983 when Jobs asked him,\n“You want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to\ncome with me and change the world?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scolly said the discovery and the path to achieving a goal\nis now more important than ever. That is because the pace of change has\naccelerated tremendously with the way we work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the past, people would just sit in” in reference to\nthe old way of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” Today, it\u2019s more possible to have a purpose-driven\nlife,” Scolley said, saying that it is now easier to work with in an\nentrepreneurial spirit and to imagine and implement new ideas, no matter where\nyou work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the purpose of\nlife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scully said that, of course, finding your goal is easier\nthan achieving it, especially for those who are just entering the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He recommended sharpening the right traits to get there \u2013\ngaining “unsatisfied curiosity” about the world you live in and\nopening your mind to infinite opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “You\u2019ve got to have a huge curiosity and open your mind\nto the possibilities of things that could exist,\u201d Scully said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the characteristics that Scully said he tried to\nembrace when he was CEO of Apple from 1983 to 1993, and in his current role as\na technical investor and entrepreneur consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sully said that he also sees these skills in Gates’s\nsuccessor, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. ” He\u2019s a superb listener and he\nhas an open mind,” Scoli said of the 51-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scully also said there was no need to worry if you haven\u2019t\nbeen able to get there yet, or if you found obstacles along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “There\u2019s a very thin line between success and failure,\u201d\nScully said. \u201cJust because someone\u2019s successful, it doesn\u2019t mean they were that\nmuch different (to anyone else). Failure is very important in one\u2019s growth too\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not many things can guarrantee success in our world.
