According to the teachings of Buddhists, the opinion of a beginner is very valuable - it is almost impossible and almost unattainable to keep it unchanged in oneself. Although miracles do happen.
The clothes we are wearing are made by someone. Our language is also not invented by us. Food is also grown by other people. Our time to do something useful for humanity is also not far off and will come soon. - Steve Jobs
Death purifies, frightens and inspires, wise Buddhists believe not in vain. After all, thanks to death, the world becomes cleaner and brighter, opening the way for everything new and progressive.
Never forget about death. Thanks to death, I made all the right, fateful and life-affirming decisions. An obsessive thought about death The best way understand yourself, reject illusions and calm down, choosing the true faith, walking the path of the Almighty at the behest of the heart. S. Jobs
I have known many women. The best are wives. My wife is a holy and sinless woman, faithful to her duty, keeping the family ties of marriage with dignity.
Whenever I looked on the other side of the mirror in the morning and thought that the day could be interrupted, becoming the last, I asked myself about the upcoming classes.

Read the continuation of the best aphorisms and quotes of Steve Jobs on the pages:
If you spend every day of your life as if it were your last, one day you will be right.
There were times when I didn't have my own room. I slept on the floor with friends, and in order to buy food, I handed over bottles of Coca-Cola. Every Sunday I walked 10 kilometers in order to have a normal meal once a week at a charity dinner in the Hare Krishna temple. And you know what? It was a great time!
The computer does very simple things - it takes a number, adds it to another number, compares the result with a third number. But it all happens at a speed of 1,000,000 operations per second. And at a speed of 1,000,000 operations per second, the result already seems like magic.
There is no desire to be the most prosperous in the cemetery.
We are here to give the world something new. If not, then why not?
There are no successful people who have never stumbled or made a mistake in their life. There are only successful people who made mistakes but then changed their plans based on past failures. I'm just one of those guys.
I would trade all my technology in one day with Socrates.
When you are young and you see what is broadcast on TV, it seems to you that television companies are in cahoots and want to make humanity stupid. But then, having matured, an understanding of the truth comes: people themselves desire this. The conspiracy is not so terrible. You can always shoot the bastards, start a revolution! But in reality, there is no collusion, the TV companies just meet the demand. It's a pity, but it's true. Joint presentation with Bill Gates at the All Things conference, 2007
Sometimes, life hits you in the butt with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved my job. You need to find what you love. And this is as true for work as it is for relationships. Your work will fill most life and the only way to be completely satisfied is to do what you think is a great thing. And the only way to do great things is to love what you do.

Fortune magazine interview, 2000
People often come up to me on the street. They beg or just want to pat me on the back and tell me how much they love Apple products.

Interview with The Wall Street Journal, 1993
The personal computer market is dead. Microsoft has completely taken over the market without bringing innovation to the industry. This is the end. Apple lost, the history of desktop computers entered the Middle Ages. This will continue for about 10 years.
If, for some reason, we stumble, make a few irreparable mistakes and lose the competition to Microsoft and IBM... Then dark times will come for the entire computer industry.

I tried marijuana and used LSD, I don't try to hide it at all.
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower.
I wish Bill Gates all the best, really. I just think that he and Microsoft are too narrow-minded. His views would have been much broader if he had indulged in acid in his youth or lived with hermits in India.
You know that we eat food that other people grow. We wear clothes that other people have made. We speak languages that were invented by other people. We use mathematics, but other people also developed it ... I think we all say this all the time. This is a great opportunity to create something that could be useful to mankind.

TV is dull and kills a lot of time. Turn it off and you save some gray matter. But be careful - you can go dumb on an Apple computer.
If I were now presented with a choice - what to keep in my possession - Apple or Pixar - I would probably want to arrange everything so that I own both, without such a choice.
Your time is limited, don't waste it living another life. Don't get hooked on a creed that exists on other people's thinking. Don't let the eyes of others drown out your own inner voice. And it is very important to have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you really want to do. Everything else is secondary.
It was as if they had punched me in the gut and knocked my soul out of me. I'm still young, I'm only 30 and I want to keep creating great things. I know that I can create at least one more great invention. But Apple won't give me that chance.
The memory that I am about to die is the most important tool that helps me make the tough decisions of my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in the face of death, leaving only what is really important. The memory of death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have a reason not to follow your heart.

3. My girlfriend always laughs during sex. Regardless of what she is currently reading.
4. Being the richest person in the cemetery is not important to me ... Going to bed and telling myself that I did something really wonderful - that's what matters!
5. For 33 years now, I have looked in the mirror every day and asked myself: “If today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am going to do today? And as soon as the answer was “No” for several days in a row, I knew that something had to change.
6. You need to find what you love. And this is as true for work as it is for relationships.

The iconic, inspiring and best words of one of the most famous rebels who changed the world
Steve Jobs is a rebel, unshaven Buddhist in old worn jeans and the legendary co-founder of Apple Corporation. The man who always went against the current. Many idolized him for his ideas and innovations, many hated and criticized him for his arrogance, authoritarianism and amazing ability to pass off other people's ideas as their own.
clubber invites you to remember the cult and simply famous sayings of Steve Jobs, on which more than one generation of ambitious young people who also passionately want to change this world will learn and grow:
About moving forward and mistakes
About myself
About work
About life
Only having a purpose brings meaning and satisfaction to life. This not only promotes better health and longevity, but also gives you a modicum of optimism during difficult times.
I collect the best quotes of Steve Jobs in Russian and English, said by him at different times.
About the meaning of life
We are here to contribute to this world. Why else are we here?
We eat food that other people grow. We wear clothes that other people have made. We speak languages that were invented by other people. I think the time has come for us to become useful to humanity.
Only having a purpose brings meaning and satisfaction to life. This not only promotes better health and longevity, but also gives you a modicum of optimism during difficult times.
The memory that I am about to die is the most important tool that helps me make the tough decisions in my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in the face of death, leaving only what is really important. The memory of death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have a reason not to follow your heart.
Being the richest man in the graveyard doesn't matter to me. Going to bed, telling yourself that you did something wonderful - that's what's really important.
About my place at Apple
This is not a one-man theatre. Two things inhale new life to this company. First, there are a lot of really talented people in this company who have been told by the whole world for a couple of years that they are losers - and some of them were almost ready to believe it themselves. But they are not losers. What they lacked was a good team of coaches, a good plan. Good senior management. But now they have it.
About the role of the leader
Being gentle with people is not my job. My job is to make them better. My job is to draw from different parts of the company, clear paths and gather resources for key projects. To take these great people that we have and push them and make them even better, offer them a bolder vision of what the future should be.
I can fire a person and then call him to discuss some project or re-hire him. I don't care about the past, only the present matters.
About moving forward
I think if you've done something and it's pretty good, you should go and do something else without stopping too long. Just decide what's next.
About mistakes
There is no such thing as a successful person who has never stumbled or made a mistake. There are only successful people who made mistakes but then changed their plans based on those very mistakes. I'm just one of those guys.
About work
There is only one way to do great work - to love her. If you don't get there, wait. Don't get down to business. Let your heart tell you first.
Good artists create, great artists steal, and real artists deliver on time.
About competitors
Microsoft's only problem is they have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. I don't mean the lack of original ideas, I'm talking about the fact that they don't bring culture to their products.
Microsoft has spent many millions of dollars on the development and development of their own products, but for some reason they all look like copies of Apple products. When I want to cheer myself up, I immediately remember this fact.
About myself
I am one of the few people who knows what it's like to lose a quarter of a billion dollars in a year. It is very good at shaping personality.
There was a time when I slept on the floor in my friends rooms and turned in bottles to buy a veggie burger. Now, after receiving shares and property worth several billion dollars, my everyday life has changed somewhat, but, I swear, not myself.
I don't trust a computer that I can't lift.
Death is the best invention of life. She is the cause of change. She purifies the old to make way for the new.
About higher education
Value higher education undeniable. But, I want to say that it will not help the accumulation of experience.
About risk
Any great figure, whether it be Newton or Picasso, was ready to take risks and could not infrequently fail.
About someone else's opinion
How does a person know what he wants if he has never seen the product.
About confidence
All the objects around you were created by people just like you, no smarter or dumber than you. You can change the world around you, create products that others will use.
About future
I'd rather be unsure about the future development of the product than do something unoriginal.
About details
We make the smallest details of our products unforgettable.
About geniuses
Dedicated to outcasts, rebels and hooligans. To all those who are ready to change the world around them, who have their own view of familiar things... Let someone consider them crazy, we see geniuses in them.
About problems
You need a problem to fix, a bug to fix.
About passion
Do what you enjoy. Otherwise, you will never have enough strength and patience to complete the work to the end.
About choice
You can do many different things. But since we have chosen something specific, it is worth making it great.
The best quotes from Steve Jobs, the most frequently quoted during the life of the head of Apple, and after his death.
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower.
Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know who you really want to be.
Do not be upset and leave life. But if life has left you, you should be upset.
TV is dull and kills a lot of time. Turn it off and you save a few of your brain cells. However, be careful - you can go dumb at the Apple computer.
Stay hungry. Stay reckless.
Steve Jobs is an unshaven Buddhist in worn jeans, a rebel who has always gone against the grain.
Steve Jobs is an American engineer and entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO Apple Inc. Years of life 1955-2011. Real name - Steven Paul Jobs Legendary man, his products are popular even after death, and the phrases spoken decades ago do not lose their relevance today. Capacious, vital, often with sarcasm, but always to the point. What is it worth short quote“You have to work with your head, not 12 hours a day”, which, perhaps, everyone knows. The founder of Apple thought a lot about entrepreneurship, tried to find motivational words for staff. And among his popular expressions there are many sayings about love, business, development, training and money.
Steve Jobs quotes about work
When creating Apple phones, Steve often did unpredictable things, made decisions that were difficult to approve and that did not arouse either approval or support in the team. However, it was worth introducing the phone to the public, and it became the most desired device. Jobs said, "It's impossible to create a product based on focus groups, because people often do not understand what they want until you show it to them." Other quotes about phones and approach to development:
- "We made the icons on the screen look so pretty you'll want to lick them";
- "You never know what you're looking for until you find it";
- “People pay us for integration, they don’t have time to think about what is connected to what”;
- “You can't just ask what customers want. By the time everything is ready, they will want something new.”
Steve never tired of repeating that things are getting more complex and the task of engineers is to simplify the world, and not to make people worry about something. After all, there are enough worries at work, in personal life, to think about how, for example, a new washing machine or telephone works.
Steve Jobs quotes about life and philosophy
Steve can hardly be called a man who lived by the rules, and goodie. He was tough, and sometimes cruel, even to the closest people, including friends and daughter, but Jobs's death was mourned by the whole world and he is still a role model, and his quotes have already become sayings.
- “Do not trust dogmas, you cannot live based only on what is invented by others”;
- "Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life";
- "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish";
- "Take courage to follow your own heart and your intuition."
Upon learning of his diagnosis, Steve said: “Sometimes I believe in God, sometimes I don’t. But since I have cancer, I've been thinking about it more often. And believe more. Probably because you want to believe that when you die, it does not mean that everything disappears. Wisdom, what you have accumulated, continues to live. Although sometimes it seems, press "Off" and you are no more.
Steve Jobs quotes about success
Steve Jobs is a talented engineer and no less talented marketer. His product was wanted, expected, desired, it was perfect, always perfect. And it was a real success.
- "Half what separates losers from successful people is perseverance";
- “Take a step and the road will appear by itself”;
- “Only the presence of a goal brings meaning and satisfaction to life”;
- “You have to be passionate about what you do. Otherwise, you won’t have the patience to see it through to the end”;
- "There's only one way to do great work, and that's to love it."
And, perhaps, one of the most famous quotes from Steve Jobs about success and work: “There is no point in hiring smart people and then telling them how to work. We are hiring smart people to tell us what to do." Jobs was a hard worker, working on his projects for as long as it took. As he said, he never did anything for the sake of money, although at the age of 25 he "cost" more than a hundred million dollars.
Steve Jobs quotes about competitors
Steve's specific humor is relevant to this day. He respected each of his competitors, because he knew that a few guys from the garage could one day turn the world upside down. He walked this path personally and it was in the garage in 1976 that he created the first "apple" computer. However, this did not stop him from joking caustically and caustically, almost to the point.
- “If for some reason we make gross mistakes and IBM wins, then in 20 years the Era of Computer Darkness will come”;
- “Microsoft's only problem is that they have no taste. None";
- “I have nothing against the success of Microsoft. I am against the fact that they make third-rate products.
He advised his main competitor, Bill Gates, to try acid at least once or go to the ashram in order to get a much greater breadth of views.
More quotes in the movie "Steve Jobs"
In 2015, the film-biography "Steve Jobs" was released. It used a large number of quotes and statements from public speeches. The directors used footage from Jobs' personal archives to convey as accurately as possible every trait of the genius engineer's character. Even the filming process was as close to reality as possible, the film consists of several parts that were shot on 16- and 35-mm film, as well as on digital. This shows how quickly technology changes during the 16 years of Jobs's life, which are shown in the film.
Initially, Christian Bale was nominated for the main role, but after the change of director, DiCaprio almost became Jobs. But he abandoned the project, and then Christian changed his mind, being unsure that he could handle the role of Jobs. So, the main role went to Michael Fassbender. And it was he who helped many to finally shape the image of Jobs.
The movie "Steve Jobs" won an Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actress. In addition to the Oscar, he was awarded many other awards and was a huge success with both the public and film critics.
