In his earliest years a teacher changed course:

They knew that school was to blame for trying to memorize data rather than to stimulate me stupid. [...] Had it not been for that teacher would have probably ended up in jail.

On the ability to make the best of each employee:

I showed him that if he acted as if anything were possible, would end that way. I told him that if he pretended to have absolute control of a situation, people would think I had it.

Bill Atkinson, the Mac designer, described it:

People are divided into "enlightened" and "asshole." His work was the "best" or "absolute crap".

A phrase for the business legend:

Want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?

The field distortion of reality seemed to work even if you were well aware of its existence. [...] We passed to accept it as a force of nature "

Steve Jobs took care of every detail:

People do judge a book by its cover, [...] if we offer a presentation sloppy, people will think that is a crock, if we present it in a creative and professional, we will be assigning the desired qualities. [...] His obsession is the passion for the product, passion for product perfection.
