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 695 quotes

My model for business is The ...

My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people.

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

I've read something that Bill...

I've read something that Bill Gates said about six months ago. He said, ‘I worked really, really hard in my 20s.’ And I know what he means, because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too. Literally, you know, 7 days a week, a lot of hours every day. And it actually is a wonderful thing to do, because you can get a lot done. But you can't do it forever, and you don't want to do it forever, and you have to come up with ways of figuring out what the most important things are and working with other people even more.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

I don't really care about bei...

I don't really care about being right, I just care about success. I don't mind being wrong, and I'll admit that I'm wrong a lot. It doesn't really matter to me too much. What matters to me is that we do the right thing.

Kick-start your brain. New id...

Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office!

You can't connect the dots lo...

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

Ultimately, it comes down to ...

Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

It's the disease of thinking ...

It's the disease of thinking that a having a great idea is really 90% of the work. And if you just tell people, 'here's this great idea,' then of course they can go off and make it happen. The problem with that is that there's a tremendous amount of craftsmanship between a having a great idea and having a great product.

Creativity comes from spontan...

Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

When you're doing something f...

When you're doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you're not going to cheese out. If you don't love something, you're not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

I'm not worried about the cou...

I'm not worried about the country's long-term future. This country is insanely great. What I'm worried about is that we don't talk enough about solutions.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

We think that computers are t...

We think that computers are the most remarkable tools that humankind has ever come up with, and we think that people are basically tool users. So if we can just get lots of computers to lots of people, it will make some qualitative difference to the world.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum and we can do anything we want.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

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 695 quotes

We've had one of these before...

We've had one of these before, when the dot-com bubble burst. What I told our company was that we were just going to invest our way through the downturn, that we weren't going to lay off people, that we'd taken a tremendous amount of effort to get them into Apple in the first place; the last thing we were going to do is lay them off.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

People don't know what they w...

People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on marketing research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

In order to learn how to do s...

In order to learn how to do something well, you have to fail sometimes. In order to fail, there has to be a measurement system. And that's the problem with most philanthropy - there's no measurement system. You give somebody some money to do something and most of the time you can really never measure whether you failed or succeeded in your judgment of that person or his ideas or their implementation.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

Shake off this erroneous noti...

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.

Steve Jobs 695 quotes

Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s? another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.
