More quotes by Steve Jobs
If we don’t cannibalize ourselves, someone else will.
Steve Jobs
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
I try to get people to see what I have. . . . When you run a computer company, you have to get people to buy into your dreams.
Steve Jobs
I know you have 1000 great ideas for things that iTunes could do. And we have 1000 more. But innovation is not about saying yes to everything. It's about saying no to all but the most crucial features.
Steve Jobs
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
Steve Jobs
You have to have a lot of passion for what you do... because if you don't, any rational person would give up.
Steve Jobs
Innovation is saying 'no' to 1,000 things.
Steve Jobs
It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That's what we get paid to do.
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
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.
Steve Jobs
Overnight success stories take a long time.
Steve Jobs
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them.
Steve Jobs
I make 50 cents for showing up... and the other 50 cents is based on my performance.
Steve Jobs
A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.
Steve Jobs
Ad campaigns are necessary for competition. But good PR educates people that's all it is.
Steve Jobs
The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel - one that reads like a mystery to most people. They're not going to learn slash q-z any more than they're going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.
Steve Jobs
Guess who surprised themselves and changed their minds.
Steve Jobs
I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning.
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.
