We've got to make the small things unforgettable.

I have enough to last for the rest of my life.

Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs

It's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.
Steve Jobs
Image
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.

Everything is important- that success is in the details.
Steve Jobs

We've gone through the operating system and looked at everything and asked how can we simplify this and make it more powerful at the same time.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

You're already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
Image
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.

We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make me too products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it's always the next dream.
Steve Jobs
Image
All we are is our ideas, or people. That's what keeps us going to work in the morning, to hang around these great bright people. I've always thought that recruiting is the heart and soul of what we do.
Steve Jobs
Image
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.

I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do.

I don't need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster... carrying around these non-connected computers is byzantine by comparison.
Steve Jobs

The hardest thing when you think about focusing. You think focusing is about saying Yes. No. Focusing is about saying No. And when you say No, you piss off people.
Steve Jobs

One of my beliefs very strongly is that any democracy depends on a free, healthy press.

Never settle for average.

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.
