More quotes by Steve Jobs
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. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.
Steve Jobs
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
One way to drive fear out of a relationship is to realize that your partner's values are the same as yours, that what you care about is exactly what they care about. In my opinion, that drives fear out and makes for a great partnership, whether it's a corporate partnership or a marriage.
Steve Jobs
Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.
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
The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
Steve Jobs
The iPod is not a new category. Music is not new. It's not a speculative market. It's a very, very large market. It's been around for thousands of years and will be around as long as humans exist.
Steve Jobs
The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we've got to risk it, too.
Steve Jobs
As Regis Mckenna once said, the best marketing is education
Steve Jobs
You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
Steve Jobs
I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.
Steve Jobs
If you don't have a passion, you'll give up.
Steve Jobs
Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs
Overnight success stories take a long time.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is usually the result of connections of past experiences. But if you have the same experiences as everyone else, you are unlikely to look in a different direction.
Steve Jobs
Your thoughts construct patterns like scaffolding in your mind. You are really etching chemical patterns. In most cases, people get stuck in those patterns, just like grooves in a record, and they never get out of them.
Steve Jobs
Don't settle, as with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it
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 web is just going to be one more of those major change factors that businesses face every decade.
