Steve Jobs
obs: "One of my mantras - focus and simplicity."
Jobs: "I say when something sucks rather than sugarcoat it."
Guy Kawasaki: "If you’re a Steve fan, you say: ’He knew how to cut through all the bullshit.’ If you’re not a Steve fan, (you say) ’He lacked social graces.’"
Emily Brower Auchard: "Jobs was a ’noticer’ who picked up on the smallest detail."
Jobs: "When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex. ... But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more and more layers of the onion off, you can sometimes arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. Most people just don’t want to put in the time or energy to get there."
Jobs: "I got very interested in people who had discovered something more significant than ... intellectual, abstract understanding."
Jobs: "I saw a lot of people contemplating things, but it didn’t seem to lead to too many places."
