Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could - I'm searching for the right word - could, could die.

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.
