Inspirational Steve Jobs Quotes to Live By

“But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or do you want to come with me and change the world?”
“Look at the design of a lot of consumer products — they’re really complicated surfaces. We tried to make something much more holistic and simple. When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. Most people just don’t put in the time or energy to get there. We believe that customers are smart, and want objects which are well thought through.”
“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.”
“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.”
“In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.”
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.”

Sad Conclusion
Many companies that are rivals of Apple are paying a tribute to Steve Jobs. Very rare to see this publicly, but not for Steve. His visions have changed the world for the better. This sad news has made me think and realize that death is coming sooner than we might think. I strongly encourage everybody who is reading this to live every day to it’s full potential, and take ever opportunity that comes your way. Steve Jobs is an extraordinary person that has touched us all in some way or another. Can anybody else step up to the plate and fill his shoes? I highly doubt it….
And one more thing… you will always be remembered and serve as a role model to the human kind.
