QUOTE #1

“You don’t make plans more than a year out, and that’s bad. You need to force yourself to plan as if you will live for many years.”

TAKE AWAY:

Make a design philosophy for your client that will last generations. That will make sure they continue living in it.

QUOTE #2

On his $1 salary: "I make 50 cents for showing up and the other 50 cents is based on performance."

TAKE AWAY:

You are a fool if you are 90 cents for showing up and 10 cents for performance.

QUOTE #3

"There's a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That's crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they're doing, you say, 'Wow,' and soon you're cooking up all sorts of ideas."

TAKE AWAY:

Nothing beats the power of human interaction.

QUOTE #4

"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 in the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through."

TAKE AWAY:

Integrity.
It will take your craft to the next level.

QUOTE #5

“If something isn't right, you can’t just ignore it and say you’ll fix it later,” he said. “That’s what other companies do.”

TAKE AWAY:

A simple straight forward solution of eliminating your competitors.

QUOTE #6

"If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quote as much."

TAKE AWAY:

Passion in what you do is your personal brand. It's what sets you apart from the mediocre masses.

QUOTE #7

"Think about surfing on the front edge of a wave. It’s really exhilarating. Now think about dog-paddling at the tail end of that wave. It wouldn’t be anywhere near as much fun. Come down here and make a dent in the universe. "

TAKE AWAY:

Dare yourself.
Make your own dent in the universe.

The word "Success" was never mentioned in any of the lines.

Because the lines were mere guidelines from the great Steve Jobs.
