If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

School was pretty hard for me at the beginning.

The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.

I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. It's very character-building.

The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

I dropped out of Reed College [Portland, Oregon] after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
Steve Jobs

There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything.
Steve Jobs
Image
I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.

Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs

It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
