Steve Jobs on Innovation
"Innovation is the distinction between a leader and a follower"
"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations""Real artists ship"
"Pixar is the most technically advanced creative company; Apple is the most creatively advanced technical company"
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?" Asking the former CEO of Pepsi, John Sculley, if he wanted to work for Apple"
"I want to put a dent in the universe"
"It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now"
"I want a mouse for $10 that can be mass-produced, because it’s going to be the primary interface of the computer of the future" Statement after visiting PARC in 1980.
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected"
"Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation"
"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new"
"Better to be a pirate than to join the navy" Said in conjunction with a pirate flag that flew over the Macintosh development building on Apple's campus in 1983.
"You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge"
