successful thinking apples
I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.
believe embedded given
To whom much is given, much is expected. I do believe this. It's embedded in me.
struggle gay sacrifice
I don’t consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I’ve benefited from the sacrifice of others. So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.

Our whole goal in life is to give you something you didn’t know you wanted and then once you get it, you can’t imagine your life without it… and you can count on apple doing that.

excellence habit
Excellence has become a habit.
confused thinking goal
Companies that get confused, that think their goal is revenue or stock price or something. You have to focus on the things that lead to those.
growing-up moving law
I remember what it was like to grow up in the South in the 1960s and 1970s. Discrimination isn’t something that’s easy to oppose. It doesn’t always stare you in the face. It moves in the shadows. And sometimes it shrouds itself within the very laws meant to protect us.
apples creating pushing
And that's what everyone at Apple is focused on - pushing forward and creating the future.
world want reason
We do a lot of things for reasons besides profit motive. We want to leave the world better than we found it.
journey goal joy
Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.
passion thinking yield
No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy, your passion, your impatience for progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.
