Steven Jobs Quotes

• Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people. -Steve Job
• 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. -Steve Job
• 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.

• The reason that Apple is able to create products like the iPad is because we've always tried to be at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts. -Steve Job
• 
• No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids. -Steve Job
• I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren't random. -Steve Job

• The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. -Steve Job
• Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future. -Steve Job
• Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.

They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn't been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields. -Steve Job
• The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient. -Steve Job
• 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. -Steve Job
• Who wants a stylus. You have to get em and put em away, and you lose em. Yuck. Nobody wants a stylus. -Steve Job

• In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. -Steve Job
• Of all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near or at the top as history unfolds and we look back. It is the most awesome tool that we have ever invented. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in Silicon Valley, at exactly the right time, historically, where this invention has taken form. -Steve Job

• It's not about charisma and personality, it's about results and products and those very bedrock things that are why people at Apple and outside of Apple are getting more excited about the company and what Apple stands for and what its potential is to contribute to the industry. -Steve Job
• Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply. -Steve Job
• To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines. -Steve Job

The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade. -Steve Job
• It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic. -Steve Job
• You'll see more and more perfection of that - computer as servant. But the next thing is going to be computer as a guide or agent. -Steve Job
