More quotes by Steve Jobs
If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower.
Steve Jobs
Some people can do one thing magnificently, like Michelangelo, and others make things like semiconductors or build 747 airplanes -- that type of work requires legions of people. In order to do things well, that can't be done by one person, you must find extraordinary people.
Steve Jobs
People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on marketing research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.
Steve Jobs
I sat in a garage and invented the future.
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
Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.
Steve Jobs
I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better.
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
You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards.
Steve Jobs
What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I didn't really know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down. I was a very public failure.
Steve Jobs
The lunatics have taken over the asylum and we can do anything we want.
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 5ยข 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
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
Steve Jobs
You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better. You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently.
Steve Jobs
People say sometimes, You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world. I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.
Steve Jobs
Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.
Steve Jobs
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
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
That's my job - to make sure everything is great.
Steve Jobs
