Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.

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.

There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.

We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
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
Image
Start small, think big. Don’t worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe.

It isn't the consumers' job to know what they want.
Steve Jobs
Image
I told [Bill Gates] I believed every word of what I said but that I should never have said it in public. I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

You need to have a collaborative hiring process.

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

That's my job - to make sure everything is great.
