Steve Jobs's Philosophy



92. "We did iTunes because we all love music. We made what we thought was the best jukebox in iTunes. Then we all wanted to carry our whole music libraries around with us. The team worked really hard. And the reason that they worked so hard is because we all wanted one. You know? I mean,the first few hundred customers were us."

72. "Good PR educates people; that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves."

50. "There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love. 'I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at Apple. Since the very very beginning. And we always will."

47. "You've got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology - not the other way around."

42. "I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success - I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products."

35. That's been one of my mantras -- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there, you can move mountains.

38. "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

12. You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

A perfectionist's task is never complete after discovering the initial solution. The quality Jobs' sought in his products were a direct result of painstaking attention to detail at every level. His dedication to providing quality products to consumers fueled his search for the best solution, not merely a solution.
