Why Steve Jobs Works for Apple
So I was looking for blogs by Apple employees and I found this little gem of a reminder of user experience as a competitive advantage.
"And that's why I work for Apple. Because it enables 80 year old women to do things like take up audio and video chats with her friends around the globe. Anyone can build these things for geeks who like to dink with stuff. With Apple, you plug it in, it works. And it changes the world, one person at a time."

Ten Golden Lessons from Steve Jobs
The following article is from Ririan Project.From the recent challenge on DRM, to the iPhone hype from his presentation, and the popular iPod madness, we know Steve Jobs is a marketing genius. But that’s not the only it, he has his own view of what’s successful and the view of leadership and career. Ririan Project selected 10 quotes from Steve Jobs and describe them in details how you can learn Jobs’ way to be successful:
1) “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
2) “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.
3) “The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
4) “You know, we don’t grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved… I mean, we’re constantly taking things. It’s a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.”
5) “There’s a phrase in Buddhism, ‘Beginner’s mind.’ It’s wonderful to have a beginner’s mind.”
6) “We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.”
7) “I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year…. It’s very character-building.”
8) “I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.”
9) “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?”
10)“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s 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.”

Why Steve Jobs?
This thought of creating something about Steve Jobs has haunted me for quite a while, and to be honest, except that I bought a Mac from his Apple store in San Francisco this early May, I hardly had much idea about him, all my surprise and enthusiasm about everything related to Apple actually only came after my newly acquired Mac. I decided to do this because---
It is a great company with remarkable innovation---not only in the sense of great user-friendly functionality, but also with great design of beauty! It is really not just being cool, it actually liberates you from the machine to live a "human" life!
The man in the picture is great with incredible loyalty to his passion putting decades of hardworking, persistence, creativity, and still in process of writing his "sweet stories"...
