Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.

More quotes by Steve Jobs
You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
The technology companies don't understand creative things at all. Silicon Valley's view of the creative process in Hollywood is a bunch of guys in their young thirties sitting on a couch, drinking beer, and thinking up jokes.
Steve Jobs
We have never worried about numbers. In the marketplace, Apple is trying to focus the spotlight on products, because products really make a difference. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
Steve Jobs
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could - I'm searching for the right word - could, could die.
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
Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
Steve Jobs
It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That's what we get paid to do.
Steve Jobs
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
Steve Jobs
The mark of an innovative company is not only that it comes up with new ideas first, but also that it knows how to leapfrog when it finds itself behind.
Steve Jobs
The seven-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a smartphone, and too small to compete with an iPad.
Steve Jobs
We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That's what's driven me.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is all about saying no
Steve Jobs
You need to have a collaborative hiring process.
Steve Jobs
I was worth about over a million dollars when I was 23 and over ten million dollars when I was 24, and over a hundred million dollars when I was 25 and... it wasn't that important — because I never did it for the money.
Steve Jobs
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
Steve Jobs
School was pretty hard for me at the beginning.
Steve Jobs
I had been rejected, but I was still in love.
Steve Jobs
It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.
Steve Jobs
