is an age where it's rare that you see an artist really contribute something amazing.

It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing. Steve Jobs

is tasked not with being easy on people, but with making them better.

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. Steve Jobs

is an activity whose best business plan is quality, period.

Everything is based on a simple rule: Quality is the best business plan, period. Steve Jobs

 starts with the small and simple, and eventually allows one to put a ding in the universe.

Start small, think big. Don't worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe. Steve Jobs

is synergistic. None of us are as creative as all of us.

None of us are as creative as all of us. Steve Jobs

is no longer servant, but is now becoming guide and agent.

You'll see more and more perfection of that computer as servant. But the next thing is going to be computer as a guide or agent. Steve Jobs

is about not looking back too much and being willing to throw away what you've done and who you were.

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. Steve Jobs

is just connecting things, and when asked how they do it, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something.

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. Steve Jobs

is usually nothing more than taking what is already working in one field and applying it somewhere else.

Steve Jobs has suggested creativity is usually nothing more than taking what is already working in one field and applying it somewhere else. To create the most fertile conditions for those connections to happen, you have to kickstart your . . .

is more than a sale, it is a person to be engaged with as a singular individual.

For Jobs, the customer was more than a sale... he wanted to engage the customer as a singular individual. In this, he was expressing the way that Apple's technology could change, and is changing, people's lives by changing the way they relate to technology.

Customers always want something new Steve Jobs

is the axis around which a business turns. If they are having a problem, it is the company's problem.

If a user is having a problem, it's our problem. Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs 'The customer is the final inspector.' -Steve Jobs 'Whenever you do any one thing intensely over a period of time you have to give up other lives you could be living. You have to have a real single-minded kind of tunnel vision if you . . . [5000 + Quotes for the Seeker of Riches. Ronald Collins ]

is to be come against so closely that you can tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves.

Get closer than ever to your customers. So close that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves. Steve Jobs

is to be understood on a profound level because that they do not care about you, your product or your service, only with how you can help them reach their dreams and goals.

Your customers don't care about you. They don't care about your product or service. They care about themselves, their dreams, their goals. Now, they will care much more if you help them reach their goals, and to do that, you must understand their goals, as well as their needs and deepest desires. Steve Jobs

is the starting point, and the technology must be worked back toward not the other way around.

You've got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology not the other way around. Steve Jobs

is the most wonderful invention of life because it purges the system of old models that are obsolete.

That's why I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete. I think that's one of Apple's challenges, really. When two young people walk in with the next thing, are we going to embrace it and say this is fantastic' Are you going to be willing to drop our models, or are we going to explain it away' I think we'll do better, because we're completely aware of it and we make it a priority. Steve Jobs

is about making things intuitively obvious.

The main thing in our design is that we have to make things intuitively obvious,' Jobs told the crowd of design mavens. For example, he extolled the desktop metaphor he was creating for the Macintosh. 'People know how to deal with a . . .

is about more than aesthetics, it is about customer experience rather than the fit and finish.

For Jobs, design is about more than aesthetics. Jobs was always focused on the customer experience rather than the fit and finish. The success of Apple, and the design legacy of Steve Jobs, is this laser-like focus on creating great consumer experiences. A key point seen in the ever popular iPhone and iPad's.
