Here are 10 of Steve Jobs' best quotations. Enjoy.
About
Apple's existence:
“What if Apple
didn't exist? Think about it. Time wouldn't get published newt week.
Some 70% of the newspapers in the US wouldn't get published next
week. Some 60% of the kids wouldn't have computers; 64% of the
teachers wouldn't have computers. More than half the websites crated
on Macs wouldn't exist. So there's something worth saving here, see?”
On
problem solving:
“When you first
start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up
with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep
going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion
off, you can oftentimes arrive at some very elegant and simple
solutions. Most people just don't put in the time or energy to get
there.”
On
creativity:
“Let's go invent
tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday.”
“Innovation
distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
“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.”
Steve
Jobs' Curriculum Vitae:
“Objective: I'm
looking for a fixer-upper with a solid foundation. Am willing to tear
down walls, build bridges, and light fires. I have great experience,
lots of energy, a bit of that 'vision thing' and I'm not afraid to
start from the beginning. Skills: that 'vision thing', public
speaking, motivating teams, and helping to create really amazing
products.”
About
knowledge:
“I would trade all
my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.”
Motivation,
inspiration:
“Have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you
truly want to become.”
“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 other's opinions drown out your own
inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your
heart and intuition.”
“People think focus
means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not
what it means at all. It means saying 'no' to the hundred other good
ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as
proud of the things we haven't done as the things we have done.
Innovation is saying 'no' to 1000 things.”
