More quotes by 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
Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.
Steve Jobs
The most important decisions you make are not the things you do, but the things you decide not to do.
Steve Jobs
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
Pursue your dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks.
Steve Jobs
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them.
Steve Jobs
I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
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
Customers don't measure you on how hard you tried, they measure you on what you deliver.
Steve Jobs
The problem with the Internet startup craze isn’t that too many people are starting companies it’s that too many people aren’t sticking with it.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is all about saying no
Steve Jobs
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
We've gone through the operating system and looked at everything and asked how can we simplify this and make it more powerful at the same time.
Steve Jobs
Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
Steve Jobs
You've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to sell it.
Steve Jobs
When I went to school, it was right after the '60s and before this general wave of practical purposefulness had set in.... The idealistic wind of the '60s was still at our backs, though, and most of the people I know who are my age have that engrained in them forever.
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
No one is going to buy a big phone.
Steve Jobs
Find people who are competent and really bright, but more importantly, people who care exactly about the same things you care about.
Steve Jobs
I'd say we [Apple Inc.] are the most creative of the technology companies and definitely the most artist-friendly. Almost everyone in the music business uses a Mac and everyone has an iPod.
Steve Jobs
