The journey is the reward

I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.

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

Our goal is to make the best devices in the world, not to be the biggest.

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.

It isn't the consumers' job to know what they want.

And no, we don't know where it will lead. We just know there's something much bigger than any of us here.
