18 Steve Jobs Quotes and Lessons That Are Sure To Inspire You

Saying No- Say no to 1,000 things We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and everyone 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
5.
Master The Message– You have to get people excited about what you’re doing in order for them to see your vision
6.
Your Time Is Limited- Use It Wisely. “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 other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
7.
Realizing Your Possibilities– 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 the 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 once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again

11.
Have Passion. Passion fuels the rocket, but vision is what directs it to it’s destination “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.”

Just Because Others Don’t See It Doesn’t Make It Impossible– In 1979, Jobs saw an early and crude graphical user interface being demonstrated at the Xerox research facility in Palo Alto, California. He knew immediately that the technology would make computers appealing to “everyday people.” That technology eventually became The Macintosh, which changed everything about the way we interact with computers. Xerox scientists didn’t realize its potential because their “vision” was limited to making new copiers. Two people can see the exactly the same thing, but perceive it differently based on their vision.(Carmine Gallo- 7 Success Principles of Steve Jobs)

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish– Don’t ever be satisfied. Always push yourself to do the things people say can’t be done.
