We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
Steve Jobs
Image
Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. It's very fortunate if you can work on just one of these in your career. ... Apple's been very fortunate in that it's introduced a few of these.
Steve Jobs
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive.
Steve Jobs
Image
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.
Steve Jobs
Image
You can't win on innovation unless you have a way to communicate it to customers.
Steve Jobs
Image
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
Image
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
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.
Steve Jobs

You've got to have a problem that you want to solve a wrong that you want to right.
Steve Jobs
Image
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs
Image
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
Image
There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook.
Steve Jobs
Image
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.
Steve Jobs
Image
Never settle for average.
Steve Jobs
Image
Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs
Image
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.
Steve Jobs
Image
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
Steve Jobs
Image
Find people who are competent and really bright, but more importantly, people who care exactly about the same things you care about.
