Regardless of whether you find Steve Jobs prophetic or poralising, Apple's late CEO had a swagger about him that not many can match. He did what not many other business leaders could. He touched many with his passion and creativity for creating beautiful and functional products. Until today his products continue to live through the legacy of Apple and the many lessons he's left the world. Here are 10 of the biggest Steve Jobs quotes that will change your life.
1. "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do"
2. “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.”
3. “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.”
4. “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.”
5. “I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”
6. “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.”
7. “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. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
8. “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.”
9. “My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others’ negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.”
10. “Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly and get on with improving your other innovations.”
