More quotes by Steve Jobs
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.
Steve Jobs
Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
There's a lot of symbolism to your return. Is that going to be enough to reinvigorate the company with a sense of magic?
Steve Jobs
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is all about saying no
Steve Jobs
Woz is living his own life now. He hasn't been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.
Steve Jobs
A-plus players like to work together and they don't like it if you tolerate B work.
Steve Jobs
We're just enthusiastic about what we do.
Steve Jobs
Focusing is about saying No.
Steve Jobs
I was in the parking lot, with the key in the car, and I thought to myself: If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town, and we've been together ever since.
Steve Jobs
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
Apple's market share is bigger than BMW's or Mercedes's or Porsche's in the automotive market. What's wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
To go forward you have to leave something behind
Steve Jobs
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.
Steve Jobs
In the first 30 years of your life, you make your habits. For the last 30 years of your life, your habits make you.
Steve Jobs
We're not a media company. We don't own media. We don't own music. We don't own films or television. We're not a media company. We're just Apple.
Steve Jobs
I'm as proud of many of the things we haven't done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things.
Steve Jobs
It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
Steve Jobs
We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.
Steve Jobs
