I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning.
Steve Jobs
Image
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Combine science and humanities.
Steve Jobs
Image
Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office!
Steve Jobs
Image
We live in an information economy. The problem is that information's usually impossible to get, at least in the right place, at the right time.
Steve Jobs
Image
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
Image
I'm as proud of many of the things we haven't done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things.
Steve Jobs
Image
Our job is to read things that are not yet on the page.
Steve Jobs

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
Steve Jobs
Image
Death is very likely the single best invention of life.
Steve Jobs

A lot of people think big business in America is a bad thing. I think it's a really good thing. Most people in business are ethical, hard-working, good people. And it's a meritocracy.
Steve Jobs
Image
Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs
Image
But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem.
Steve Jobs

School was pretty hard for me at the beginning.
Steve Jobs
Image
Ad campaigns are necessary for competition. But good PR educates people that's all it is.
Steve Jobs
Image
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs

You've got to find what you love.
Steve Jobs
Image
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.

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.
