i will compare this to make a good manga, plot, check below.

1. Eliminate distractions. Upon returning to Apple after being fired, he decided to cut back on projects and focus on only four. “Let's do 4 things and do them spectacularly well,” said Steve Jobs.

2. Simplify everything. For Jobs, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication; He assures that this is achieved by optimizing resources, eliminating unnecessary parts in processes and products, valuing the essential and practical over the superfluous.

3. Responsibility throughout the process. Being a leader in the market, you are responsible for the entire process: design, production, operation of the product and, especially, the user experience, which is why Apple creations are generally incompatible with other brands.

4. If you fall behind, you must take a leap. A good example of this is when its competitor Microsoft overtook Mac by including its CD-burning computers, Apple took a leap by creating iTunes (multi-device storage system), revolutionizing the history of music.

5. Think about the products then the profits. Jobs said: “Focus on creating a great product, the benefits will come.” Based on the fact that good things always generate profits, the first thing is to create a good product, profits will come in addition.

6. Don't trust Focus Groups too much. In relation to testing opinions about products, Jobs said: “People don't know what they want until you give it to them.” Since we associate what is new immediately with previous experiences, we should not stick only to market studies, because We could end up doing the same, let's also trust our intuition.

7. Demolish the impossible. Mental limits must be broken since they are an impediment for leaders and their team, this was demonstrated by Jobs when, together with his partner Woz (Stephen Gary Wozniak), they had a project that would take 6 months to complete, it was when Jobs stated the famous phrase: “Do you need 6 months to develop that? You can do it in 4 days! Woz succeeded, forcing him to finish the project in a time frame that seemed impossible.

8. Transmit at all times. Everything must communicate and add value; Apple products create an experience that begins at the moment the consumer aspires to have it, considering not only the technological innovation they represent, but also the most trivial characteristics such as packaging and its design. For example, Jobs considered that incorporating different fonts into Apple devices would be a great contribution. Since he took calligraphy classes, they turned out to be an added value, until his competitor was also able to include a variety of fonts in the products. of the.

9. Demand excellence. Products cannot be launched on the market until they are tested and tested, going through all the necessary controls and tests to guarantee their quality. Jobs knew that perfection does not exist, but he was dedicated to making every Apple device come close to it.

10. Hire the best and let them shine. Every project that Steve Jobs undertook, he made sure to surround himself with great professionals and also accepted that his success was due to selecting people better than him, with more experience and, above all, he let them shine.

11. Stay hungry. Let's remember Apple's famous phrase: “Think different. This is a tribute to the crazy people, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round chips in the square holes. Although some see them as crazy, we see their genius, because the people crazy enough to think they can change the world… are the ones who change it.

We close with this phrase because it invites us not to be conformist, even if the market leads us to continue doing the same thing, to fit in; Steve Jobs always inspires us to dream big, no matter how absurd the dream is, even if it seems impossible, so that every day we are hungry to achieve it and want to change the world.


****************** MY MEMO WAY TO EXPLAIN IN MANGA STYLE


Memo333 just loves to improve.

1. Eliminate distractions. When creating and/or improving your manga, close facebook, IG, tv,…twitch,,,phone…almost everything to fully concentrate in your plot / story.

2. Simplify everything. For Memo333, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication; He assures that this is achieved by optimizing resources, eliminating unnecessary parts in processes and products, valuing the essential and practical over the superfluous. yea…the same……dont try to push a mega hyper good story……really..who cares? dont try to be edgy…complex plots and ****..people will get confused. BAD GUY VS GOOD GUY. there….simple..just do it as best as you can to entertain US. Makes us feel something.

3. Responsibility throughout the process. emmm…try to make your best product, not perfect…just good, do, fail, get up and improve. always.

4. If you fall behind, you must take a leap. just get up and try again. if you keep failing is better to quit and do something different.

5. Think about the products then the profits. stop trying to get rich and famous. stop being arrogant and greedy. Focus on giving a good compelling story. If its good and charming, you will get money for it. But bad stories also make money. Sadly.

6. Don't trust Focus Groups too much. In relation to testing opinions about products, Jobs said: “People don't know what they want until you give it to them.” People will become your fans once they see your good product and service. They must first see it,….sense it , touch it…make a connection. If people cant connect emotionally then you are done, its not working. 80% of peoples actions depend on their emotions. Almost everything we do IS EMOTIONAL. almost zero things are rational. ALSO…dont copy, immitate what works…be original god damn it…….. if zombies are viral and tendency, dont be a sheep and copy. HAVE SOME DECENCY!

7. Demolish the impossible. try always new things…experiment….invent new ways to tell a story. do different panels, different page sizes…THINK DIFFERENT. Get away from others and create something brand new.

8. Transmit at all times. Get in love with your plot, characters, designs, your BRAND. BE YOUR STORY.

9. Demand excellence. do the best you can do. but always improve over time. never do what you always do. take clases, learn from youtube, take new routes. dont try to be perfect, just do your best and improve.

10. Hire the best and let them shine. if you can do your manga…hire good people to help you. make a healthy work environment…be a good humble leader. dont hire the best ones, the underdogs can also be good, see light where no one has ever look.

11. Stay hungry. Let's remember Apple's famous phrase: ”Think different. This is a tribute to the crazy people, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round chips in the square holes. Although some see them as crazy, we see their genius, because the people crazy enough to think they can change the world… are the ones who change it.

Never stop learning. period. If you make manga, movies, video games etc…you have to still consume that to learn new ideas. Inspiration and motivation is created with hard work and dedication.

Because if you are burn out it means you are not doing the correct decisions.
