"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." �� Steve Jobs
"You can't look back and say 'well, gosh, I wish I hadn't got fired, I wish I was there, I wish this, I wish that' - It doesn't matter. Let's go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday." — Steve jobs, D5 conference, 2005
"To build a great company, you need more than a great product. You have to pay attention to all the different areas and be as aggressive with them as with your product. Otherwise, you'll spend half your time fixing things that break." — Steve Jobs, 1989
"Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path. And that will make all the difference." - Steve Jobs, 2005
I’ve found that feeling frustrated, like nothing is working, is usually where the biggest breakthroughs are born.
It’s often the feelings of frustration that cause us to put in that extra effort, to try that extra idea.
"The only thing you really have in your life is time. If you invest that time in your self, to have great experiences that's gonna enrich you, then you can't possibly lose." - Steve Jobs, 1994

The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.
— as mentioned in ‘An Inventor's Seasoned Ideas’ (1934)

"If you do something, and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful - not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next." - Steve Jobs, 2006
