More quotes by Steve Jobs
It's like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there's some fundamental technology shift, it's just over.
Steve Jobs
You've got to have a problem that you want to solve a wrong that you want to right.
Steve Jobs
The Macintosh was supposed to be the computer for people that just wanted to use a computer without having to learn how to use one.
Steve Jobs
Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs
You can't look at the competition and say you're going to do it better. You have to look at the competition and say you're going to do it differently.
Steve Jobs
It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done. And then try to bring those things in to what you're doing.
Steve Jobs
There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook.
Steve Jobs
Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.
Steve Jobs
Each dream you leave behind is a part of your future that will no longer exist.
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
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
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
Making an enduring company was both harder and more important than making a great product.
Steve Jobs
I sat in a garage and invented the future.
Steve Jobs
I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back.
Steve Jobs
Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down and things may be different tomorrow but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today.
Steve Jobs
I'm not dismissing the value of higher education I'm simply saying it comes at the expense of experience.
Steve Jobs
The day I was born songs were on records, phones were tied down, computers needed rooms and the web was fiction. Change the world. You can.
Steve Jobs
The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt. I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model and it might not be successful.
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
