Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

If you’re gonna make connections which are innovative… you have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does.

I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

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.

I think the things you regret in life are the things you didn’t do.

Don’t wait! Do something when you are young, when you have nothing to lose, and keep that in mind.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.

Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.

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.

Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
