More quotes by Steve Jobs
Learn continually - there's always one more thing to learn!
Steve Jobs
Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat
Steve Jobs
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
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
My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product.
Steve Jobs
I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I've tried my best.
Steve Jobs
I think this is the start of something really big. Sometimes that first step is the hardest one, and we've just taken it.
Steve Jobs
I was lucky - I found what I love to do early in life.
Steve Jobs
Our friends up north spend over five billion dollars on research and development and all they seem to do is copy Google and Apple.
Steve Jobs
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
Steve Jobs
I had been rejected, but I was still in love.
Steve Jobs
Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
Steve Jobs
If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.
Steve Jobs
Don't settle, as with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it
Steve Jobs
If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.
Steve Jobs
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
Steve Jobs
It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done. And then try to bring those things in to what you're doing.
Steve Jobs
It wasn't that Microsoft was so brilliant or clever in copying the Mac, it's that the Mac was a sitting duck for 10 years. That's Apple's problem: Their differentiation evaporated.
Steve Jobs
The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it.
Steve Jobs
But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
Steve Jobs
