Additional quotes by Steve Jobs

Il pensiero che sarei morto presto è stato il più grande aiuto che abbia avuto per prendere le decisioni importanti della mia vita. Perché praticamente tutto - tutte le aspettative del mondo esterno, tutto l’orgoglio, tutte le paure e gli imbarazzi della sconfitta - tutte queste cose semplicemente svaniscono di fronte alla morte, lasciando solo quel che è importante. Ricordarvi che dovrete morire è il modo migliore per non cadere nella trappola, e pensare di avere qualcosa da perdere. Siete già nudi. Non c’è motivo per non seguire il vostro cuore.

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
