More quotes by Steve Jobs
It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much.
Steve Jobs
We live in an information economy. The problem is that information's usually impossible to get, at least in the right place, at the right time.
Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
Steve Jobs
Now, we are selling over 5 million songs a day now. Isn't that unbelievable? That's 58 songs every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
Steve Jobs
Strategy is figuring out what not to do.
Steve Jobs
I have a great respect for incremental improvement, and I've done that sort of thing in my life, but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
Steve Jobs
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.
Steve Jobs
My job is to make the whole executive team good enough to be successors, so that's what I try to do.
Steve Jobs
I think this is the start of something really big. Sometimes that first step is the hardest one, and we've just taken it.
Steve Jobs
Apple stores are intended not just to move boxes, but to enrich lives.
Steve Jobs
Focus is about saying, No. And the result of that focus is going to be some really great products where the total is much greater than the sum of the parts.
Steve Jobs
The technology companies don't understand creative things at all. Silicon Valley's view of the creative process in Hollywood is a bunch of guys in their young thirties sitting on a couch, drinking beer, and thinking up jokes.
Steve Jobs
I was in the parking lot, with the key in the car, and I thought to myself: If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town, and we've been together ever since.
Steve Jobs
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
Steve Jobs
I began to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis. Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That's had a big impact on my work.
Steve Jobs
Making an enduring company was both harder and more important than making a great product.
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
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.
Steve Jobs
People say sometimes, You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world. I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.
Steve Jobs
