তাঁর কিছু বাণী তুলে ধরা হলো
*******************************************
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
************************************
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
******************************
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.
******************************
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
**********************************
My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
*****************************
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
********************************
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.
***********************************
Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
********************************
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. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
****************
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.
******************
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.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations
**********************************
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.
*********************************
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it’s like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
**********************
It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
*****************************
*****************
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.
**********************************
** Do not live limited life
** Have passion
** Design for your self
** Do not sell Crap
** Build a great team
** Do not do it for money.
** Be proud of your product.
** Build around customers.
** Marking about value.
** Stay hungry stay foolish.
When you grow up you tend to get told that world is the way it is and your, Your life is just to live your life inside world, try not to base into the walls to much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But life that is a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and there is everything around you that you call life made up by people there were no smarter than you ! and you can change it, You can influence it, You can build your own things that other people can use and the minute that you understand that you can Poke life in actually something you know you push in, something you pop out the other side you can. You change it, you can mold it that is the most important thing is to shake off this.
Notion that life is there and you are just going to live in it versus, embrace it, improve it. Make your mark upon it. I think this is very important and however you learn that one you learnt it. You will wanting chance life and make it better cause it is cannot messed up in a lot of wages. Once you learn that you will never
be the same again.
********************************
Build a great team : Greatest people are self-managing they do not need to be managed you think they know if once they know what to do. They will go figure out how to do it they do not need to be managed at all what they need is a common vision and that is what leadership is what leadership is having a vision being able to articulate that so the people and around you can understand it and getting a consensus on a common vision we wanted people that were insanely great what they did but work were not necessarily those seasoned professionals but who had on at the tips of their figure and in their passion the latest understanding of where technology was and what we could to bring it’s a lot of people so the neatest thing that happen is when you get a core group of you know ten great people that it becomes self-policing as to who they let in to that group so I consider the most important Job of someone like my self is recruiting agonized over hiring we have the interview I go back and look at some of the interviews again they would start at nine or ten in the morning and go through dinner and it really hard, I knew interviewing talk to everybody in the building at least once may be a couple times and then come back for another round of interviews and then they will get together and talk about it.
Let’s hire professional management we went out and hired a bunch of professional management it did not work at all. Most of them boozes they knew how to manage by hey do not know how to anything and so what if you are a great person why do you want to work for something you can not learn anything from and you know.
What interesting you know what the best managers are there the great individual contributors who never ever no one else is going to able to do as good a job as them after hiring two professional managers from outside the company and firing them both jobs.
Do not do it for money: I think money is wonderful thing because I never did it for money. I think Money is wonderful thing because it enables you to do in investing ideas that does not have a short term pay back and things like that but especially at that points in my life it was it was not the most important thing that most important things was the company the people the products we were making what we were going to enable people to do with products so I did not thing about it is a great deal and never sold any stock Just really believe that the company would do very well over the long term.
Stay hungry stay foolish:
I am pretty sure none of this would have happened if I had not been fired from apple, It was awful tasting medicine but I Guess the patient needed if sometime life sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with brick do not loss faith I am convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I love what I did. You have got to find what you love and what is true for work as it is for your lovers 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 have not found it yet keep looking and do not settle.
As with all matters of the heart you will know when you find it and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll or so keep looking do not settle.
Stay hungry stay foolish is was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay hungry stay foolish and I have always wished that for myself and now as you graduate to begin a new wish that you.

1. “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. So it
better be damn good. It better be worth it.”
2. “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.”
3. “Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t
be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s
thinking. Don’t let the noise of other opinions drown 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.
4. “I think 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.”
5. “Quality is much better than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.”
7. “Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.”
8. “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 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.”
9. “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how
they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really
do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.”
10. “My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept
each other’s 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.”
11. “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how
it works.”
12. “What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have
ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
13. “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers,
the round pegs in the square holes… The ones who see things differently —
they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because
they change things… They push the human race forward, and while some may
see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy
enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
14. “It’s better to be a pirate than to join the navy.”
15. “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
16. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them
looking backward. 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.”
17. “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.”
18. “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
19. “If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you
have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever
you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away.”
20. “Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose
yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring
those things into what you’re doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists
copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about
stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great
was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and
zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer
scientists in the world.”
