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.
school years eight
I have always respected education, which is why I actually went back secretly and taught school for eight years.
successful thinking years
When you're about 20 years old, you kind of think out - I figured out that it was better - less good to be successful and better to have a laughing life, laugh more than you frown all through your life. Because on the day you die, which one would you have said had the happier life, the better life? And so I put a lot of humor in my life.
jobs years apples
We truly could have used the later Jobs in earlier years at Apple, is what I feel.
teaching years skills
I am the person I want to be. I got to teach and had some of the greatest times in my life learning that I had some teaching skills and doing some incredible things teaching 200 hours of computers a year to fifth graders, making them experts at certain things.
although receive salary small virtually work
Although I receive a small salary from Apple, I do virtually no real work at the company.

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.
