At 19, Jobs felt lost after dropping out of college. He traveled to Delhi, hoping to find his life’s purpose. But the journey was far from what he expected: • Survived on local food • Meditated in isolated caves • Slept in abandoned buildings

This “failed” quest led him to prajna the concept of transcendent wisdom. It’s about trusting your gut over pure logic. As Jobs explained: "The people in the Indian countryside don’t use their intellect like we do. They use their intuition… more powerful than intellect."

This became his hallmark -> decisions made by instinct. Even when his choices defied market trends, he trusted his inner compass. "This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

Living among Indian villagers, something else struck him: Their joy in simplicity. No fancy gadgets. No excess. Just the essentials. This later inspired Apple’s core belief: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

To Jobs, every feature, every detail, every pixel had to earn its place. If it didn’t serve a purpose, it was eliminated. This was Apple’s philosophy: No clutter—just focus and clarity.

When Jobs returned to rescue Apple in 1997, he didn’t hesitate: • Fired 4,100 people • Cut 70% of products • Simplified to just four items He understood one key truth about customers: They don’t want endless choices, they want the right choices.

Jobs believed technology should serve people, not complicate their lives. Apple products reflected this. They weren’t just beautiful. They were so simple anyone could use them.

Even the names reflected this simplicity: • Computers -> Mac. • Consumer products -> iDevices. The simpler the name, the stronger it stuck in people’s minds.

Apple’s ads became the gold standard in marketing. Jobs kept the process simple: • Trust a small team of brilliant minds • Avoid middlemen • Cut endless approval chains

While competitors added features to stand out, Jobs did the opposite. He refined, simplified, and polished. Success didn’t come from adding more. It came from removing everything that didn’t matter.
