More quotes by 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
It's not the consumers' job to figure out what they want
Steve Jobs
I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.
Steve Jobs
Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
Steve Jobs
It's like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there's some fundamental technology shift, it's just over.
Steve Jobs
Companies must have a noble cause, and it's the leaders job to transform that noble cause into such an inspiring vision, that it will attract the most talented people in the world to want to join it.
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.
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
When you’re in a startup, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not.
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
When the sales guys run the company, the product guys do not matter so much, and a lot of them just turn off.
Steve Jobs
Great art stretches the taste, it doesn't follow tastes.
Steve Jobs
I know you have 1000 great ideas for things that iTunes could do. And we have 1000 more. But innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most crucial features.
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
The world doesn't need another Dell or Compaq.
Steve Jobs
It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
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
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
Steve Jobs
I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
Steve Jobs
