Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down and things may be different tomorrow but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today.
Steve Jobs
As Regis Mckenna once said, the best marketing is education
Steve Jobs
You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.
Steve Jobs
