Gates's Gift And Jobs's Real Legacy: Comfortable Clothes

Jobs and Gates used to be dressed for a long time: one was thorough recreation and the other was dressed up.

For those of us in the industry, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs leave us a permanent gift.

Jobs and Gates have different motives for choosing clothes.

Jobs hates

As for Gates, he did not have many buttons on his clothes in his early years.

In front of everyone, he either simply wore a T-shirt with no buttons, or a T-shirt with at most three buttons, and the color of his clothes was very plain.

In his famous photo of arrest (Note: Gates was invited to the police station in 1975 because of traffic violation), he was wearing a sportswear that even God had seen and frowned, wearing a colorful, strange, flowery children's shirt.

Because he has an affinity with Harvard, he occasionally wears a Oxford shirt, often rolls up his sleeves, but never wears a tie.

In addition, the early Gates, who was captured by Melinda, was also known for being unhygienic and sloppy.

In early, Microsoft worked with IBM to develop the latter's operating system.

Shortly before the two sides broke up, Gates flew to New York from Seattle for a red eye flight.

It seems that he has been working hard on the Windows system day and night for several days. He may not have had time to change his shirt and board the plane.

He arrived in New York at dawn, rented a car, and then went straight to IBM at the headquarters of ammonk city to see Jim Cannavino, who was in charge of the company's personal computer division at the time. Jim Cannavino.

There is no doubt that the big guy has not come to work yet.

At that time, Steve, Steve Brock, who was still young, and was now president of DELL's service business, was called to receive Gates. Brock.

And his guests broke into the office one after another for the purpose of seeing what kind of operating system everyone was using (he suspected that Windows was more popular than OS/2).

Sa Ken Brock had to tell Gates that he could not just enter other people's offices and ask him to stay in the reception room.

In addition, Brock also noticed that his guests all over the body emanated from the "fragrant" smell of hard working days and nights.

This is the essence of dress requirements.

Because compared to other people, software developers struggle against the clock to forget their work, and spend a few days completing projects that others need to take months to complete, so they no longer wear decent as a matter.

They are real laborers, but have clean hands.

Such outstanding people have great freedom in dress and wear whatever they want.

Because they often sleep sleepy under the computer table for second days. They wake up and open a bottle of diet coke and work.

Moreover, not long after, many of them became very wealthy.

The big and small businesses in Seattle have long been surprised by those slovenly hippies.

The upper body kit T-shirt, socks on the feet and sandals are probably the vice president of Microsoft. They have enough money in their pockets to buy the whole store.

As for Jobs, everyone knows his trademark black long sleeved turtleneck sweater and jeans.

Now we know that he has hundreds of such clothes made by Lssey Miyake (Issey Miyake).

We can guess from this matter that although he always looks like he is wearing the same clothes, he actually changes quite diligently.

Jobs has obsessive compulsive disorder and maybe a little cleanliness.

When people want to shake hands with him, he often pretends not to see them.

However, these two people actually have the same choice in dressing, and they have changed business people's clothes forever.

International standard professional suits, which we sometimes call "morning gowns" and trousers, have been in commercial society for 150 years.

The rear opening of the suit was originally designed for riding, although this design is also perfect for the venue and office seats.

At the end of the 1970s, when I was in the first ten years of my career, my shirt, suit and tie were always the same.

I worked for Motorola's international marketing department at that time, and often had to travel abroad.

I wear my suit on the plane for the night, attend the meeting and go out for dinner.

I also make my own suit in Hongkong.

I was very comfortable with that at the time. It was like some kind of uniform.

Latinos always wear suits, and never wear shorts except when they are on holiday at the beach.

Only small boys can run around in shorts.

Until now, I am embarrassed to wear shorts to the streets.

In the early 1990s, I worked for a software company.

The company has a big government client.

Before a visit to the headquarters, the boss said to the whole team, "please wear clothes with buttons."

We want to know how many buttons are appropriate.

"At least three."

He replied.

But when I meet in air travel and business, I can dress comfortably, which gives me great relief.

Despite the prevailing economic downturn, some industries have generally increased their dress requirements.

Seeing here, you may ask yourself why I am writing this topic.

The answer is, I will attend a business conference and wear formal clothes, which is the first time in 10 years.

One of my good clients, Panasonic Corp, invited me to host a panel discussion on the 2011 LTE North American Conference in Dallas this week (Note: LTE for the long term evolution technology, the fourth generation of wireless communication technology).

The company will introduce a commercial Android tablet that is still in development at this conference.

And the invitation letter says: "dress requirements: business clothing."

I asked my contact on the phone: "what is a business suit?"

He replied, "suit and tie."

I was surprised by this.

"This is a conference of the telecommunications industry," my contacts hinted. "And it's in Texas."

"You know," I said, "this is an activity where analysts will be present in person."

As is known to all, technology analysts, like real technical experts, will be gathered in signboard clothes.

Robert Enderle (Rob Enderle) always wears a Andrew style long sleeved T-shirt with his company logo on his chest.

Tim Tim (Bajarin) always wears a New Orleans version of the crocodile, the Perlis brand's T-shirt, but it does not mean an alligator, but a crayfish.

I usually prefer gray or black long sleeved T-shirt with black and no sign of trousers and shoes and socks.
