“If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them.”

“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.”

“For most things in life, the range between best and average is 30% or so.
The best airplane flight, the best meal, they may be 30% better than your average one. What I saw with Woz was somebody who was fifty times better than the average engineer. He could have meetings in his head.
The Mac team was an attempt to build a whole team like that, A players.
People said they wouldn't get along, they'd hate working with each other.
But I realized that A players like to work with A players, they just didn't like working with C players. At Pixar, it was a whole company of A players.”
