Steve Jobs (1955-2011) Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower! My favourite quotes!



It can be argued that Steve Jobs was the greatest innovator of all time and in my opinion has produced some of the most inspiring quotes known when it comes to innovation! Here are a few of my favourite ones!



"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."

"You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.”

"Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."

"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 realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem."



"Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation."


"Our primary goal here is to make the world's best PCs -- not to be the biggest or the richest.
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R amp&; D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it."


"An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator... these are NOT three separate devices! And we are calling it iPhone! Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is."


"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."

"First was the mouse. The second was the click wheel. And now, we're going to bring multi-touch to the market. And each of these revolutionary interfaces has made possible a revolutionary product - the Mac, the iPod and now the iPhone."


"Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor."

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith."


"There are so many more all over the internet and within these specific websites below! They are definitely worth a read the man was a genius and an inspiration to many."
