We were really working fourteen-to-eighteen-hour days, seven days a week. For like, two years, three years. That was our life. But we loved it, we were young, and we could do it.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Don’t take it all too seriously. If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
On the blue box: That was what we learned: was that us, too, we didn’t know much. We could build a little thing that could control a giant thing and that was an incredible lesson.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
We are very careful about what features we add because we can’t take them away.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
I don’t care about being right. I care about success and doing the right thing.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
I always advise people – Don’t wait! Do something when you are young, when you have nothing to lose, and keep that in mind.

Quote by -Steve Jobs
That’s why we started Apple, we said you know, we have absolutely nothing to lose. I was 20 years old at the time, Woz was 24-25, so we have nothing to lose. We have no families, no children, no houses. Woz had an old car. I had a Volkswagen van, I mean, all we were going to lose is our cars and the shirts off our back.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
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.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
In the broadest context, the goal is to seek enlightenment – however you define it
Quote by -Steve Jobs
I’m actually as proud of many of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done
Quote by -Steve Jobs
The doers are the major thinkers. The people that really create the things that change this industry are both the thinker and doer in one person.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Get closer than ever to your customers. So close that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
The key thing that comes true is that they had a variety of experiences which they could draw upon, in order to try to solve a problem or to attack a particular dilemma in a kind of unique way.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
A lot of people that would have been artists and scientists have gone into this field to express their feeling and so it seemed like the right thing to do.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
How do you know the direction to head with products? It boils down to taste. Emerge yourself with the best ideas from the humanities. And integrate them. Pull interests from diverse areas.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
On why he made everybody sign the Mac cases: Because the people that worked on it consider themselves and I certainly consider them artists. These are the people that under different circumstances would be painters and poets but because of that time that we live in this new medium has appeared in which to express oneself to one’s fellow species and that’s a medium of computing.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Learning to program teaches you how to think. Computer science is a liberal art.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
I started to listen to music a whole lot and I started to read more outside of just science and technology, Shakespeare, Plato. I loved ‘King Lear’.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Woz and I very much liked Bob Dylan’s poetry, and we spent a lot of time thinking about a lot of that stuff.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Besides Dylan, I was interested in Eastern mysticism, which hit the shores at about the same time.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
You’ve baked a really lovely cake, but then you’ve used dog shit for frosting.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your other innovations.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product. So, you know, I obviously believed in listening to customers, but customers can’t tell you about the next breakthrough that’s going to happen next year that’s going the change the whole industry. So you have to listen very carefully. But then you have to go and sort of stow away – you have to go hide away with people that really understand the technology, but also really care about the customers, and dream up this next breakthrough.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
You can’t go out and ask people, you know, what the next big thing is. There’s a great quote by Henry Ford, right? He said, ‘If I’d have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me ‘A faster horse’
Quote by -Steve Jobs
It’s ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
The people who go to see our movies are trusting us with something very important – their time and their imagination. So in order to respect that trust, we have to keep changing; we have to challenge ourselves and try to surprise our audiences with something new every time.
Quote by -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.
