Additional quotes by Steve Jobs

"La simplicidad es lo máximo de la sofisticación. Cuando te enfrentas por primera vez a un problema, parece fácil porque no sabes mucho de él. Después te metes en el problema y ves que en realidad es complicado, así que se te ocurre todo tipo de soluciones rebuscadas.
La mayoría se detiene ahí, pero la clave es seguir avanzando, hasta que encuentras "el principio subyacente" del problema y es entonces cuando el círculo se cierra con una solución bella y elegante que funciona."

Sometimes I believe in God, sometimes I don’t. I think it’s 50-50 maybe. But ever since I’ve had cancer, I’ve been thinking about it more. And I find myself believing a bit more. I kind of – maybe it’s ’cause I want to believe in an afterlife. That when you die, it doesn’t just all disappear. The wisdom you’ve accumulated. Somehow it lives on, but sometimes I think it’s just like an on-off switch. Click and you’re gone. And that’s why I don’t like putting on-off switches on Apple devices.
