" "I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

Additional quotes by Steve Jobs
Đây là những kẻ điên rồ, lạc lõng, phản kháng, đầy rắc rối, những cái chốt tròn trong những cái lỗ vuông... những người có cách nhìn khác biệt - họ không ưa luật lệ... Bạn có thể trích dẫn họ, không tán đồng với họ, vinh danh họ hoặc lăng mạ họ, nhưng điều duy nhất bạn không thể làm là lờ họ đi bởi vì họ thay đổi nhiều điều... họ thúc đẩy nhân loại tiến lên phía trước, và trong khi một số người có thể thấy họ là điên rồ, chúng tôi thấy những thiên tài, bởi chỉ những người đủ điên rồ để nghĩ mình có thể thay đổi thế giới mới là những người thay đổi thế giới.
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.
