technology thinking ideas
You'd better have the technology knowledge. I really urge you not to think you can start a whole company and business with just ideas on paper, because you'll end up owning so few of those ideas.
thinking years ideas
I do not like to talk about the future. I don't like to be one of those people. It's so easy to have a very vague idea and say, oh, computers will be 3D-ish and then 10 years later I'll say I predicted it 10 years ahead. I don't think that's honest and I don't think that's valid and worth anything.
inspiration ideas giving
Predictions can sound really good if you're good with words and can express them eloquently and give people ideas and inspiration in their head. But I'm not really good at that, so I don't want to.
jobs ideas no-friends
What Steve Jobs and I did-and at the same time Bill Gates and Paul Allen did-we had no savings accounts, no friends that could loan us money. But we had ideas, and I wanted all my life to be a part of a revolution.
jobs simple ideas
I started passing out the schematics and the code listings for the computer, telling everyone here it is. It's small, it's simple, it's inexpensive: Build your own. No idea to start a company. Steve Jobs came by later and say, you know, people are interested. Why don't we start a company?
although receive salary small virtually work
Although I receive a small salary from Apple, I do virtually no real work at the company.
beacon freedom nobody people
When the Internet first came, I thought it was just the beacon of freedom. People could communicate with anyone, anywhere, and nobody could stop it.
believe creating develop grade life minds salary
I just believe that the way that young people's minds develop is fascinating. If you are doing something for a grade or salary or a reward, it doesn't have as much meaning as creating something for yourself and your own life.
learn money projects
Your first projects aren't the greatest things in the world, and they may have no money value, they may go nowhere, but that is how you learn - you put so much effort into making something right if it is for yourself.
I want the entire smartphone, the entire Internet, on my wrist.
lack spare time
When I have spare time, I catch up on things I've had to postpone due to lack of time.
bit buses children disturbed dogs five imagine leave pets quite
It disturbed me quite a bit when young children had to get on the evacuation buses and leave their pets behind, ... Pets are a part of your family, at least in my opinion. I have five dogs of my own and they're my family. I can't imagine having to leave them behind.
nice
I don't know why because I'm nice to him, so there must have been something he didn't like.
computers exactly exploding fun good reason step
But it was kind of fun to have a company, and that was good enough reason to do it. And step by step, boy, it was right timing. Computers were exploding and we were in it exactly at the right time.
