乔布斯名言： quotes. the man in his own words

Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder and technological visionary, was well known for his words as well as his creations. Here are some of his thoughts over the past 25 years.

On life

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

– Stanford commencement speech 2005

On Macintosh

"I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours any more.

"When we finally presented it at the shareholders' meeting, everyone in the auditorium stood up and gave it a 5-minute ovation. What was incredible to me was that I could see the Mac team in the first few rows. It was as though none of us could believe that we'd actually finished it. Everyone started crying." – Playboy magazine 1985

On technology

"We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn't build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren't going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will

ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through."

– Playboy magazine 1985

On motivation

"That's been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains." – Business Week 1998

On money

"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."

– Wall Street Journal 1993

On internet start-ups

"The problem with the internet start-up craze isn't that too many people are starting companies; it's that too many people aren't sticking with it. That's somewhat understandable, because there are many moments that are filled with despair and agony, when you have to fire people and cancel things and deal with very difficult situations. That's when you find out who you are and what your values are.

"So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they're gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth in perspective."

– Fortune magazine 2000

On design

"In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service." – Fortune magazine 2000

On Apple

"My position coming back to Apple was that our industry was in a coma. It reminded me of Detroit in the 70s, when American cars were boats on wheels." – Fortune magazine 2000

On innovation

"Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10.30 at night with a new idea, or because they realised something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem. It's ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.

"And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important."

– Business Week 2004

On home computing

"The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We're just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people – as remarkable as the telephone."

– Playboy 1985

On desktop computers

"The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

"It's like when IBM drove a lot of innovation out of the computer industry before the microprocessor came along. Eventually, Microsoft will crumble because of complacency, and maybe some new things will grow. But until that happens, until there's some fundamental technology shift, it's just over."

– Wired magazine 1996

On instinct

"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." – Stanford commencement speech 2005

On work

"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. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

– Stanford commencement speech 2005

 

第二篇：名人名言

史蒂夫·乔布斯的名言

1、“领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。”

2、“成为卓越的代名词，很多人并不能适合需要杰出素质的环境。”

3、“成就一番伟业的唯一途径就是热爱自己的事业。如果你还没能找到让自己热爱的事业，继续寻找，不要放弃。跟随自己的心，总有一天你会找到的。”

4、“并不是每个人都需要种植自己的粮食，也不是每个人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我们说着别人发明的语言，使用别人发明的数学...我们一直在使用别人的成果。使用人类的已有经验和知识来进行发明创造是一件很了不起的事情。”

5、“佛教中有一句话：初学者的心态；拥有初学者的心态是件了不起的事情。”

“活着就是为了改变世界，难道还有其他原因吗？”

“牢记自己即将死去，这是我所知道的避免陷入患得患失困境的最好方法。你已经一无所有，就没有理由不听从自己的心声……求知若饥，虚心若愚。”——乔布斯

“专注和简单一直是我的秘诀之一。简单可能比复杂更难做到：你必须努力理清思路，从而使其变得简单。但最终这是值得的，因为一旦你做到了，便可以创造奇迹。”——乔布斯

“成为墓地里最富有的人对我来说并不重要……夜晚上床时说我们做了件很棒的事情……这对我来说才是重要的。”——乔布斯 马云2011经典语录：

创新不是要打败对手而是与明天竞争！

“我不相信有一流的人才，我只相信有一流的努力” 知识是可以灌输的，但是智慧是启迪的、唤醒的。

拥有独立判断，其次是保持乐观，第三是讲真话。 天生我材必有用，我不相信有一流的人才，我只相信有一流的努力。

创新无模式，创新就是你的感触，你对问题的看法。 启迪，我觉得启迪这两个字，我认为知识是可以灌输的，但是人类的智慧是启迪的，是唤醒的。

创新在我理解，就是创造新的价值，创新不是因为你要打败对手而创新，不是为更大的名，而是为了社会为了客户，为了明天，创新不是为对手竞争，而是跟明天竞争。

*明白自己有什么，明白自己要什么，明白自己放弃什么。 *永远用自己的脑袋思考问题，独立判断，第二永远保持乐观的心态，世界是有很多问题，但解决问题的办法总比问题多，世界所有的问题，人类这么多年都过来了，为什么我们就过不去？第三个讲真话。

*诚信，这是人类共同拥有的价值观，谁违背谁承担责任。 *今天很残酷，明天更残酷，后天很美好，但绝大部分人死在明天晚上，看不到后天的太阳。

*看见10只兔子，你到底抓哪一只？有些人一会儿抓这个兔子，一会儿抓那个兔子，最后可能一只也抓不住。

*永远要相信边上的人比你聪明。
