Best of Steve Jobs
- 1. Do Something Great. Start Today.
- 2. Im convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the nonsuccessful ones is pure perseverance.
- 3. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
- 4. When youre a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, youre not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. Youll know its there, so youre 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.
- 5. My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each others kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Thats how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, theyre done by a team of people.
- 6. Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
- 7. Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But its worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
- 8. 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 whats next. .
- 9. I dont really care about being right, I just care about success. I dont mind being wrong, and Ill admit that Im wrong a lot. It doesnt really matter to me too much. What matters to me is that we do the right thing.
- 10. 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 I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.
- 11. If you keep your eye on the profit, youre going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.
- 12. 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.
- 13. 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.
- 14. 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.
- 15. Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
- 16. We are very excited to soon launch what will be today's most powerful, centralized and far-reaching marketplace for entrepreneurs.
