More quotes by Steve Jobs
I hate the way people use PowerPoints instead of thinking
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
Start small, think big. Don’t worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe.
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
I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
Steve Jobs
Find people who are competent and really bright, but more importantly, people who care exactly about the same things you care about.
Steve Jobs
I would rather gamble on our vision than make a 'me, too' product.
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
Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. It's very fortunate if you can work on just one of these in your career. ... Apple's been very fortunate in that it's introduced a few of these.
Steve Jobs
You've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to sell it.
Steve Jobs
Ad campaigns are necessary for competition. But good PR educates people that's all it is.
Steve Jobs
Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply.
Steve Jobs
For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.
Steve Jobs
We think that computers are the most remarkable tools that humankind has ever come up with, and we think that people are basically tool users. So if we can just get lots of computers to lots of people, it will make some qualitative difference to the world.
Steve Jobs
Good PR educates people that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
Steve Jobs
The were good times, there were hard times, but there were never bad times
Steve Jobs
One way to drive fear out of a relationship is to realize that your partner's values are the same as yours, that what you care about is exactly what they care about. In my opinion, that drives fear out and makes for a great partnership, whether it's a corporate partnership or a marriage.
Steve Jobs
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
The Japanese have hit the shores like dead fish. They're just like dead fish washing up on the shores.
Steve Jobs
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
