More quotes by Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs
We just wanted to build the best thing we could build
Steve Jobs
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
The Macintosh was supposed to be the computer for people that just wanted to use a computer without having to learn how to use one.
Steve Jobs
The good music companies do an amazing thing. They have people who can pick the person that's gonna be successful out of 5,000 candidates. And there's not enough information to do that - it's an intuitive process.
Steve Jobs
Creativity is just connecting things.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is usually the result of connections of past experiences. But if you have the same experiences as everyone else, you are unlikely to look in a different direction.
Steve Jobs
When I went to school, it was right after the '60s and before this general wave of practical purposefulness had set in.... The idealistic wind of the '60s was still at our backs, though, and most of the people I know who are my age have that engrained in them forever.
Steve Jobs
Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office!
Steve Jobs
You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
Steve Jobs
It was one of those sort of apocalyptic moments. I remember within ten minutes of seeing the graphical user interface stuff, just knowing that every computer would work this way someday. It was so obvious once you saw it. It didn't require tremendous intellect. It was so clear.
Steve Jobs
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs
You have to have a lot of passion for what you do... because if you don't, any rational person would give up.
Steve Jobs
Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.
Steve Jobs
I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.
Steve Jobs
It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now.
Steve Jobs
The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it.
Steve Jobs
There's a lot of symbolism to your return. Is that going to be enough to reinvigorate the company with a sense of magic?
Steve Jobs
For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.
Steve Jobs
