Four Secrets to Steve Jobs' Success
How is it that a college dropout, who was once kicked out of his own company, became one of the world's foremost innovators?
Carmine Gallo lists the four ways Jobs managed to succeed in the face of discouraging circumstances.
Do what you love, no matter what it happens to be.
This is what Jobs told Stanford University graduates in a speech in 2005, Gallo says the famous talk show host Rachael Ray agrees with this advice. Rachael Ray does what she loves. She did that because she loved cooking.
Say no to 1000 things.
Simplifying his business was the key to Jobs' success, Gallo says. In 1997, when Jobs returned to Apple, Apple was close to bankruptcy（破产）. He took 300 products and condensed them to 10 within a two-year period.
In his latter years, he decided he would wear the same dress every day so that he didn't have to think about it.
Kick-start（启动）your brain by doing something new.
Doing new things helped Jobs, in the words of Apple's own slogan, “Think differently.”
The inspiration for the Apple Store came from the Four Seasons Hotel. That's why when you walk into an Apple Store, you will not find a cashier. Walk to the back of the store and there's a bar. It doesn't serve alcohol, but it collects advice.
“For Jobs, it wasn't just about selling 29 million iPads this summer but entertaining the customer at the same time,” Gallo says. “Whether you run a multi-billion dollar tech company or a pizza restaurant, innovation means creating a new experience for your customers,” Jobs says.
A. Do what you are curious about.
B. Create fresh experiences.
C. Instead, you'll find a doorkeeper.
D. Carmine Gallo says that you can do the same.
E. She was giving cooking lessons at Macy's for free.
F. Simplicity also extends to Jobs' personal life.
G. Jobs explained that iPad was not just a phone but a lifestyle.

A. What do network security experts do B. Try using shortened phrases for passwords C. How can we ensure the safety of a password D. Changing password regularly is an effective way E. That is like closing a door but not actually locking it F. It is used to say farewell to popular passwords like "123456" G. And it is also difficult for us to remember a long irregular password |
The first Thursday in May is World Password Day, but don't buy a cake or send cards. Computer chip maker Intel created the event as an annual reminder. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
The purpose of a password is to limit access to information. Having a very common or simple one like "abcdef" or even normal words like "password", is barely any security at all. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Hackers' password cracking tools take advantage of this lack of creativity and get in our accounts easily. More experienced users would choose a less common password. However, they might still fall victim to cracking software.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}? A secure password is all that stands between us and a cybercriminal. It should be unique and complex which a hacker can't easily guess or crack. The best passwords are supposed to be at least 15 characters long and full of random numbers and letters. However, a long password means a complicated process to log into a website. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. You may want to write it down, but it is not suggested due to risk.
Then what should we do? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. You can choose a phrase such as "I want to go to England." Next, convert it to an abbreviation (缩略语) by using the first letters of each word and changing the word "to" to "2". Then you get following password phrase: iw2g2e. You can make it even more complex by adding punctuation, spaces or symbols: %iw_2g2e!@. It is much easier to remember and safer.
Can't wait to try? Let's say goodbye to "666666" and change your password right now.
