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. Steve Jobs
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. Steve Jobs

When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader. Steve Jobs

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

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.

Motivational and Inspirational Steve Jobs Quotes

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, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them. About 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 crazy, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. Steve Jobs

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. Steve Jobs

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. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Steve Jobs Biography
Born on 24 February 1955 in Palo Alto, California, U.S., Steven Paul Jobs was an American entrepreneur and industry innovator who founded Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak. Both men are recognized as the pioneers of the personal computer era of the 1970s and 1980s. Apple is a company that revolutionized technologies, including the iPhone and iPad. Steve Jobs was a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer era.
“Jobs was one of the first entrepreneurs to understand that the personal computer would appeal to a broad audience, at least if it did not appear to belong in a junior high school science fair. With Jobs’s encouragement, Wozniak designed an improved model, the Apple II, complete with a keyboard, and they arranged to have a sleek, molded plastic case manufactured to enclose the unit.” (source)
To stay releveant and always on the front end of techn, Jobs began reinventing Apple In 2001 . He put Apple in the 21st century. That was the year that Apple introduced iTunes, a computer program for playing music and converting it to a MP3 in a digital format. By 2003 Apple behan selling its own portable mp3 player that could play downloadable songs that could be purchased on the internet.
During this time Jobs had been diagnosed with with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
Apple took its first step into Telecommunication by introducing the iPhone on January 9, 2007 to be released on June 29, 2007. During that year’s Macworld keynote, Jobs teased that Apple was about “to reinvent the phone” with the iPhone’s release. 15 years later, it’s clear Apple did just that
Unfortunately throughout all of the success and progress Apple was seeing, in 2008 he lost a significant amount weight indicating the cancer had returned.
August 24, 2011, he announced his resignation, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.”[202] Jobs named Tim Cook as CEO. He continued to work for Apple until the day before his death just six weeks later, a day after the release of the iPhone 4S.
