Steve Jobs frasi celebri

“A volte la vita ti colpisce in testa con un mattone. Non perdere la fiducia.”

Steve Jobs

“Il nostro tempo è limitato, per cui non lo dobbiamo sprecare vivendo la vita di qualcun altro. Non facciamoci intrappolare dai dogmi, che vuol dire vivere seguendo i risultati del pensiero di altre persone. Non lasciamo che il rumore delle opinioni altrui offuschi la nostra voce interiore. E, cosa più importante di tutte, dobbiamo avere il coraggio di seguire il nostro cuore e la nostra intuizione. In qualche modo, essi sanno che cosa vogliamo realmente diventare. Tutto il resto è secondario.”

Steve Jobs

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. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

“E l'unico modo di fare un gran bel lavoro è amare quello che fate. Se non avete ancora trovato ciò che fa per voi, continuate a cercare, non fermatevi, come capita per le faccende di cuore, saprete di averlo trovato non appena ce l'avrete davanti. E, come le grandi storie d'amore, diventerà sempre meglio col passare degli anni. Quindi continuate a cercare finché non lo trovate. Non accontentatevi. […] Rimanete affamati. Rimanete sciocchi.”

Steve Jobs

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. [...] Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Origine: La questione è controversa: il termine "foolish" viene spesso tradotto con "folle". Questa traduzione è imprecisa, poiché per esprimere questo termine in inglese sono utilizzate le parole "insane" o "crazy". La traduzione di foolish è "sciocco", "ingenuo", quando riferito a persona.

“Sono onorato di essere qui con voi oggi alle vostre lauree in una delle migliori università del mondo. Io non mi sono mai laureato. Anzi, per dire la verità, questa è la cosa più vicina a una laurea che mi sia mai capitata. Oggi voglio raccontarvi tre storie della mia vita. Tutto qui, niente di eccezionale: solo tre storie.”

Steve Jobs

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

Frasi sulla vita di Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs

“Vuoi trascorrere il resto della tua vita vendendo acqua zuccherata, o vuoi una possibilità di cambiare il mondo?”

Steve Jobs

A John Sculley, allora presidente della Pepsi, per convincerlo a far parte di Apple

“Negli ultimi 33 anni, mi sono guardato ogni mattina allo specchio chiedendomi: "Se oggi fosse l'ultimo giorno della mia vita, vorrei fare quello che sto per fare oggi?". E ogni qualvolta la risposta è no per troppi giorni di fila, capisco che c'è qualcosa che deve essere cambiato.”

Steve Jobs

“Prendere l'LSD è stata un'esperienza profonda, tra le cose più importanti della mia vita. Mi ha mostrato che c'è un'altra faccia della medaglia: quando l'effetto finisce magari non ricordi com'è esattamente, ma sai che c'è. Ha rinforzato il mio senso di cosa fosse importante – creare cose significative invece di far soldi, cercare di mettere più cose importanti possibili nel flusso della storia e della conoscenza umana.”

Steve Jobs

da What the dormhouse said, di John Markoff

Steve Jobs Frasi e Citazioni

“Valevo oltre un milione di dollari quando avevo 23 anni e oltre 10 milioni di dollari quando avevo 24 anni, e più di 100 milioni di dollari quando ne avevo 25. Ma sai, non era poi così importante, perché non l'ho mai fatto per soldi. Essere l'uomo più ricco al cimitero non mi interessa. Andare a letto la sera dicendosi che si è fatto qualcosa di meraviglioso, questo è quello che conta per me.”

“[Annunciando l'introduzione dell'iPhone] Questo è un giorno che ho aspettato con ansia per due anni e mezzo. Ogni tanto, viene avanti un prodotto rivoluzionario che cambia tutto. Si è molto fortunati se si ha la possibilità di lavorare anche solo con uno di questi nella tua carriera. Chi ha lavorato con Apple è stato molto fortunato. Apple è stata in grado di introdurne alcuni nel mondo. Nel 1984, abbiamo introdotto il Macintosh. Non ha cambiato solo Apple. Ha cambiato l'intera industria del computer. Nel 2001, abbiamo introdotto il primo iPod. Non ha solo cambiato il nostro modo di ascoltare la musica. Ha cambiato l'intera industria musicale. Bene, oggi, stiamo introducendo tre prodotti rivoluzionari di questo tipo.”

“The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products.”

“Now, I have something to tell you today. Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life — for the past five years. There have been rumors to this effect… but this is Apple's campus in Cupertino — let's zoom in on it — in that building right there… we've had teams doing the "just-in-case" scenario; and our rules have been that our designs for OS X must be processor independent, and that every project must be built for both the Power PC and Intel processors. And so today for the first time, I can confirm the rumors that every release of OS X has been compiled for both Power PC and Intel — this has been going on for the last five years. Just in case.”

“You always have to keep pushing to innovate. Dylan could have sung protest songs forever and probably made a lot of money, but he didn’t. He had to move on, and when he did, by going electric in 1965, he alienated a lot of people. His 1966 Europe tour was his greatest…. The Beatles were the same way. They kept evolving, moving, refining their art. That’s what I’ve always tried to do — keep moving. Otherwise, as Dylan says, if you are not busy being born, you’re busy dying.”

“We had the hardware expertise, the industrial design expertise and the software expertise, including iTunes. One of the biggest insights we have was that we decided not to try to manage your music library on the iPod, but to manage it in iTunes. Other companies tried to do everything on the device itself and made it so complicated that it was useless.”

“I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear.

“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, 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, you can build your own things that other people can use.”

1990s

“Rolling Stone: It's been 10 years since the PC revolution started. Rational people can debate about whether technology has made the world a better place –
Jobs: The world's clearly a better place. Individuals can now do things that only large groups of people with lots of money could do before. What that means is, we have much more opportunity for people to get to the marketplace — not just the marketplace of commerce but the marketplace of ideas. The marketplace of publications, the marketplace of public policy. You name it. We've given individuals and small groups equally powerful tools to what the largest, most heavily funded organizations in the world have. And that trend is going to continue. You can buy for under $10,000 today a computer that is just as powerful, basically, as one anyone in the world can get their hands on.”

Interview with the New York Times (5 June 2007)
2000s

“Jobs: Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn’t been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields. We all brought to this a sort of “liberal arts” air, an attitude that we wanted to pull the best that we saw into this field. You don’t get that if you are very narrow.
Cringley: How does the Web affect the economy?
Jobs: We live in an information economy. The problem is that information's usually impossible to get, at least in the right place, at the right time. The reason Federal Express won over its competitors was its package-tracking system. For the company to bring that package-tracking system onto the Web is phenomenal. I use it all the time to track my packages. It's incredibly great. Incredibly reassuring. And getting that information out of most companies is usually impossible.
But it's also incredibly difficult to give information. Take auto dealerships. So much money is spent on inventory—billions and billions of dollars. Inventory is not a good thing. Inventory ties up a ton of cash, it's open to vandalism, it becomes obsolete. It takes a tremendous amount of time to manage. And, usually, the car you want, in the color you want, isn't there anyway, so they've got to horse-trade around. Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of all that inventory? Just have one white car to drive and maybe a laserdisc so you can look at the other colors. Then you order your car and you get it in a week.”

“Jobs: Let me compare it with IBM. How come the Mac group produced Mac and the people at IBM produced the PCjr? We think the Mac will sell zillions, but we didn’t build 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.
