“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It‟s more fun to be a pirate than to
join the navy.”

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only
way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you
haven‟t found it yet, keep looking. Don‟t settle.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys
who kept each other‟s kind of negative tendencies in
check. They balanced each other and the total was great
than the sum of the parts. That‟s how I see business: great
things in business are never done by one person, they‟re
done by a team of people.”

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

“We don‟t get a chance to do that many things, and every
one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is
brief, and then you die, you know? And we‟ve all chosen to
do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be
worth it.”

“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty
good, then you should go do something else
wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what‟s
next.”

“When you‟re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of
drawers, you‟re not going to use a piece of plywood on the
back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it.
You‟ll know it‟s there, so you‟re going to use a beautiful piece of
wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the
quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

“There are downsides to
everything. There are unintended
consequences to everything. The
most corrosive piece of
technology that I‟ve ever seen is
called television- but then
again, television, at its best, is
magnificent.”

“What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have
ever come up with. It‟s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”

“Here‟s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the
troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes…The ones
who see things differently- they‟re not fond of rules…You can
quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the
only thing you can‟t do is ignore them because they change
things…They push the human race forward, and while some
may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the
ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the
world, are the ones who do.”

“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 matters to me.”

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren‟t used to an
environment where excellence is expected.”

technology for an
afternoon with Socrates.”

“If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an
artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be
willing to take whatever you‟ve done and whoever you
were and throw them away.”

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: „If
you live each day as if it was your last, someday you‟ll most
certainly be right.‟ It made an impression on me, and since
then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every
morning and asked myself: „If today were the last day of my
life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?‟ And
whenever the answer has been „No‟ for too many days in a
row, I know I need to change something.”

“I‟m convinced that about half of what separates the
successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure
perseverance.”

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know
to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

“Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
