STEVE JOBS




On the anniversary of his passing, I want to dedicate my blog post to this magnificent man who once walked the face of our planet.

It my way of paying tribute, to this Technological Giant of our time.

Below are some of Steve’s most inspiring quotes. You might have read this already so let these serve as a reminder to all of us.

“I want to put a ding in the universe”

“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”

“My job is to not be easy on people. My job is to make them better. My job is to pull things together from different parts of the company and clear the ways and get the resources for the key projects. And to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better, coming up with more aggressive visions of how it could be.”

“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.”

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me… going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what it matters to me.”
“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

“I think the things you must regret in life are things you didn’t do.”

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

“Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”

“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t 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.”

He will forever be remembered.
