My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people.

Form follows emotion

There__ a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That__ crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they__e doing, you say __ow,_ and soon you__e cooking up all sorts of ideas.

It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to to , We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.

You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.

If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.... Don't settle

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

stay hungry stay foolish

Don't be trapped by dogma _ which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

We've demonstrated a strong track record of being very disciplined with the use of our cash. We don't let it burn a hole in our pocket, we don't allow it to motivate us to do stupid acquisitions. And so I think that we'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.

Things don't have to change the world to be important.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren't random.

Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.

You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous, all the attention to it, because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.

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.
