Steve Jobs

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them.

We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make 'me too' products.

Real artists ship.

The system is that there is no system.

Creativity is just connecting things.

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have.

Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
