More quotes by Steve Jobs
Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve Jobs
The most important decisions you make are not the things you do, but the things you decide not to do.
Steve Jobs
Customers don't measure you on how hard you tried, they measure you on what you deliver.
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
Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact — everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you.
Steve Jobs
The creative industries tend to dismiss technology as just something to buy and not understand how hard it is and how creative it can be as well.
Steve Jobs
We've gone through the operating system and looked at everything and asked how can we simplify this and make it more powerful at the same time.
Steve Jobs
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Steve Jobs
The lunatics have taken over the asylum and we can do anything we want.
Steve Jobs
Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it's this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
Steve Jobs
The were good times, there were hard times, but there were never bad times
Steve Jobs
I was in the parking lot, with the key in the car, and I thought to myself: If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town, and we've been together ever since.
Steve Jobs
I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning.
Steve Jobs
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet 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. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
The reason that Apple is able to create products like iPad is because we always try to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts, to be able to get the best of both.
Steve Jobs
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
Steve Jobs
We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.
Steve Jobs
I hate the way people use PowerPoints instead of thinking
Steve Jobs
The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel - one that reads like a mystery to most people. They're not going to learn slash q-z any more than they're going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.
Steve Jobs
My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.
Steve Jobs
