I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.
Steve Jobs

We all have a short period of time on this earth-We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we're going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I've got to accomplish a lot of these things while I'm young.
Steve Jobs
Image
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

We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That's what's driven me.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
Image
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Steve Jobs
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Whatever you do, you must never let the voice in your head control the brain in your heart.
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
I'd say we [Apple Inc.] are the most creative of the technology companies and definitely the most artist-friendly. Almost everyone in the music business uses a Mac and everyone has an iPod.

Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise why even be here?
Steve Jobs
Image
Shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.

All the work I've done in my life will be obsolete by the time I'm fifty.
