More quotes by 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
It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.
Steve Jobs
I began to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis. Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That's had a big impact on my work.
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
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs
I'm not worried about the country's long-term future. This country is insanely great. What I'm worried about is that we don't talk enough about solutions.
Steve Jobs
Your customers don't care about you. They don't care about your product or service. They care about themselves, their dreams, their goals. Now, they will care much more if you help them reach their goals, and to do that, you must understand their goals, as well as their needs and deepest desires.
Steve Jobs
Great engineers are a huge multiplier.
Steve Jobs
As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
Steve Jobs
Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
Steve Jobs
One: demonstrations always crash. And two: the probability of them crashing goes up exponentially with the number of people watching.
Steve Jobs
Creativity is just connecting things.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is all about saying no
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
The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive.
Steve Jobs
I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.
Steve Jobs
Don't just live a life build one.
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
Steve Jobs
When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
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
