More quotes by Steve Jobs
Don't be evil is a load of crap.
Steve Jobs
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.
Steve Jobs
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower.
Steve Jobs
Customers always want something new
Steve Jobs
It's not the tools that you have faith in - tools are just tools. They work, or they don't work. It's people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I'm still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
Steve Jobs
I would rather gamble on our vision than make a 'me, too' product.
Steve Jobs
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
I make 50 cents for showing up... and the other 50 cents is based on my performance.
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
The day I was born songs were on records, phones were tied down, computers needed rooms and the web was fiction. Change the world. You can.
Steve Jobs
We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That's what's driven me.
Steve Jobs
Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?
Steve Jobs
Focus and simplicity...once you get there, you can move mountains.
Steve Jobs
I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
Steve Jobs
Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is saying 'no' to 1,000 things.
Steve Jobs
We have never worried about numbers. In the marketplace, Apple is trying to focus the spotlight on products, because products really make a difference. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
Steve Jobs
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
Steve Jobs
I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success — I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.
Steve Jobs
I don't mind if people don't like me. Well, I might a little ... but I really mind it when somebody uses their position at Time magazine to tell 10 million people they don't like me. I know what it's like to have your private life painted in the worst possible light in front of a lot of people.
