“We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know?

They could be running other companies. And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it. And we think it is.” ThinkingKnowsShouldRunningLife IsDiesChanceCompanyCreativityOur LivesTeamSittingGolfChosenExcellentDamnJapanWorth ItSailingPlaying GolfMonasteriesDamn Good Author:Steve Jobs

“I am only about half alive - a large part of my strength is consumed in sitting up or walking. My nervous system is a shattered wreck, and I am absolutely bored & listless save when I come upon something which peculiarly interests me.

“If you're consumed only with the big dream, you're going to die because you won't be able to feed yourself or you're going to be losing your job, so you'll just be sitting in your room dreaming, but if you're only holding onto the crap jobs that keep you just above of the water you're going to be unhappy.
