More quotes by 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
Customers don't measure you on how hard you tried, they measure you on what you deliver.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is about saying No.
Steve Jobs
I found that there were these incredibly great people at doing certain things, and you couldn't replace one of these people with fifty average people.
Steve Jobs
The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it.
Steve Jobs
I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.
Steve Jobs
You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better. You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently.
Steve Jobs
The most important thing is a person. A person who incites your curiosity and feeds your curiosity and machines cannot do that in the same way that people can.
Steve Jobs
What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.
Steve Jobs
I'd like the people teaching my kids to be good enough that they could get a job at the company I work for, making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Why should they work at a school for thirty-five to forty thousand dollars if they could get a job here at a hundred thousand dollars a year?
Steve Jobs
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
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
We all have a short period of time on this earth-We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we're going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I've got to accomplish a lot of these things while I'm young.
Steve Jobs
To go forward you have to leave something behind
Steve Jobs
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.
Steve Jobs
These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.
Steve Jobs
Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn't that unbelievable? That's 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
Steve Jobs
All the work I've done in my life will be obsolete by the time I'm fifty.
Steve Jobs
I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computer and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.
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
