27 AMAZING QUOTES FROM STEVE JOBS.
"My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time."
"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."
"Your work is going to fill
a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to
do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is
to love what you do. 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."
"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become."
"I think if you do
something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something
else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s
next."
"Sometimes when you
innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get
on with improving your other innovations."
"When you’re a carpenter
making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of
plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see
it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of
wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the
quality, has to be carried all the way through."
"That’s been one of my
mantras—focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you
have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple."
"Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles."
"Being the richest man in
the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve
done something wonderful...that’s what matters to me."
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
"Your time is limited, so
don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by
dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t
let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
"We’re just enthusiastic about what we do."
"You can’t connect the dots
looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you
have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You
have to trust in something—your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference
in my life."
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected."
"For the past 33 years, I
have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were
the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do
today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a
row, I know I need to change something."
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
"What is Apple, after all?
Apple is about people who think ‘outside the box,’ people who want to
use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things
that make a difference, and not just to get a job done."
"Things don’t have to change the world to be important."
"Technology is nothing.
What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re
basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do
wonderful things with them."
"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."
"Bottom line is, I didn’t
return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and
already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I
decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way
you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that
validates my intelligence."
"Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"
"My model for business is
The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others’ negative
tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater
than the sum of the parts."
"Remembering that you are
going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you
have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to
follow your heart."
"Getting fired from Apple
was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of
being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner
again. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
