Steve Jobs was an American entrepreneur and business magnate who co-founded Apple Inc. He was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Jobs had a keen interest in electronics from a young age and dropped out of college to pursue his passion.

In 1976, along with Steve Wozniak, Jobs co-founded Apple Computer Inc., which eventually became Apple Inc. under his leadership. Jobs played a pivotal role in the development of revolutionary products such as the Apple Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which transformed numerous industries and revolutionized personal computing.

However, in 1985, Jobs was ousted from Apple due to internal conflicts and formed NeXT Inc., a computer platform development company. NeXT's operating system served as the foundation for Apple's future operating systems. Eventually, Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 when the company acquired NeXT. He took over as CEO and revitalized the struggling company, introducing groundbreaking products like the iMac and iTunes.

Jobs' visionary leadership style and emphasis on design and user experience made Apple one of the most valuable and admired companies in the world.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else'

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was 00 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R amp& D dollars

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R amp& D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R &amp D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.

I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computers and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.

I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.
