“在技术圈有这样一种现象，几乎是一种病态，那就是对成功的定义。你能拿到多少点击量，你拥有多少活跃用户，你销售了多少台设备。每一个技术圈的人都想要大数据，乔布斯从不被这些影响，他只专注于做到最好。”
“There’s this thing in technology, almost a disease, where the definition of success is making the most. How many clicks did you get, how many active users do you have, how many units did you sell? Everybody in technology seems to want big numbers. Steve never got carried away with that. He focused on making the best.”

“你要找到你的信念，然后坚持。你要找到你的北极星。你要会做选择。有一些容易，有一些艰难，还有一些会让你质疑一切。”

“人生很多时候，依靠直觉更加适合。有意思的是，我发现，在做最重要决定的时候，直觉起着至关重要的作用。”
“There are times in all of our lives when a reliance on gut or intuition just seems more appropriate—when a particular course of action just feels right.

“我们不是第一家MP3生产商；我们不是第一家平板电脑厂商；我们不是第一家智能手机厂商；但毫无疑问，我们生产了第一款现代智能手机，生产了第一款现代的智能手表，这种‘第一 ’才重要。”

---库克就Apple Watch接受Fast Company采访时说
