Steve Jobs quotes
Wonderful collection of Steve Jobs quotes from
Never Yet Melted
A few:
You�ve baked a really lovely cake, but then you�ve used dog sh*t for frosting. (commenting on a NeXT programmer�s poor work)
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don�t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don�t think of original ideas, and they don�t bring much culture into their products. . . . 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. (1996)
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. . . . 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. . . . Again, 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. (Stanford U. commencement address, 2005)
