Our message, to people around the country and around the world, is this: Apple is open. Open to everyone, regardless of where they come from, what they look like, how they worship or who they love.

You can focus on things that are barriers or you can focus on scaling the wall or redefining the problem.

We're very simple people at Apple. We focus on making the world's best products and enriching people's lives.

No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy, your passion, your impatience for progress. Don't shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.

I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.

A great product isn't just a collection of features. It's how it all works together.

Graduates, your values matter. They are your north star. And work takes on new meaning when you feel you're pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, it's just a job. And life is too short for that.
