Steve Jobs
But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
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
My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product.
Steve Jobs
I get asked a lot why Apple's customers are so loyal. It's not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That's ridiculous.
Steve Jobs
I hate the way people use PowerPoints instead of thinking
Steve Jobs
Never settle for average.
Steve Jobs
The best way to create value in the 21st century is to connect Creativity with Technology
Steve Jobs
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.
