Quotations by Author
- No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- 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. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- You've got to find what you love and that is as true for work as it is for lovers. 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 what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you've found it.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- 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 other's opinions drown out your 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.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Adress, 2005
- I didn't see it then, but it turned out that 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.
- Steve Jobs, Stanford University commencement address, June 12, 2005
- Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
- Steve Jobs, The line he used to lure John Sculley as Apple's CEO
