More quotes by Steve Jobs
Companies must have a noble cause, and it's the leaders job to transform that noble cause into such an inspiring vision, that it will attract the most talented people in the world to want to join it.
Steve Jobs
Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.
Steve Jobs
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex.
Steve Jobs
The creative industries tend to dismiss technology as just something to buy and not understand how hard it is and how creative it can be as well.
Steve Jobs
You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs
The Japanese have hit the shores like dead fish. They're just like dead fish washing up on the shores.
Steve Jobs
Let's go invent tomorrow...
Steve Jobs
If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.
Steve Jobs
I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.
Steve Jobs
It is piracy, not overt online music stores, which is our main competitor.
Steve Jobs
Microsoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac, and the other was to copy Lotus' success in the spreadsheet - basically, the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years, Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.
Steve Jobs
I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I'm only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I've got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.
Steve Jobs
If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.
Steve Jobs
It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.
Steve Jobs
I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
Steve Jobs
I think PCs are going to be like trucks. Less people will need them. And this is going to make some people uneasy.
Steve Jobs
I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.
Steve Jobs
Marketing is about values. It's a complicated and noisy world, and we're not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear about what we want them to know about us.
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
In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing.
Steve Jobs
