Rest in peace Mr. Job.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are my collection of Steve&#8217;s best quotes that I aggregated over time&#8230; I hope it helps you understanding who the men was.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your time is limited, so don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t waste it living someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be trapped by dogma &#8211; which is living with the results of other people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thinking. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let the noise of others\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 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. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 <em>&#8211; Steve Jobs<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll most certainly be right.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And whenever the answer has been \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> <em><em>&#8211; <\/em>Steve Jobs<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t found it yet, keep looking. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t settle.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <em>&#8211; <\/em>Steve Jobs<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Again, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t 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 &#8211; your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 <em><em>&#8211; <\/em>Steve Jobs<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to thoroughly understand something &#8211; chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take the time to do that. Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask a creative person how they did something, they may feel a little guilty because they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s because they were able to connect experiences they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had more experiences or have thought more about their experiences than other people have. Unfortunately, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had very diverse experiences. They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have enough dots to connect, and they en up with very linear solutions, without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s understanding of the human experience, the better designs we will have.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/em><em>&#8211; <\/em>Steve Jobs<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This men literally changed the World we live in.
