More quotes by Steve Jobs
Death is the destination we all share, no one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
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
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
Steve Jobs
Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?
Steve Jobs
A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.
Steve Jobs
We had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Steve Jobs
It's not the tools that you have faith in - tools are just tools. They work, or they don't work. It's people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I'm still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
Steve Jobs
Don't just live a life build one.
Steve Jobs
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
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
Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
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
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
the best innovation is sometimes the company, the way you organize the company
Steve Jobs
The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work
Steve Jobs
I thought deeply about this. I ended up concluding that the worst thing that could possibly happen as we get big and as we get a little more influence in the world is if we change our core values and start letting it slide, I can't do that. I'd rather quit.
Steve Jobs
I want to make a dent in the universe.
Steve Jobs
There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.
Steve Jobs
Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.
Steve Jobs
The biggest effect of the personal computer revolution has been to allow millions and millions of people to experience computers themselves decades before they ever would have in the old paradigm.
Steve Jobs
