Here are some best quotes Steve Jobs to inspire you:

| It's really hard to create products based on focus groups. Quite often people don't know what they want until you show it to them |

| You have to believe in something: in your character, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never failed me and it has created all shades of my life |

"Quotes by Steve Jolbs". Photo: AP/Paul Sakuma

| Focus and simplicity was my main mantra. Simplicity is more complex than one might imagine; you have to work hard to clear your mind to create a simple product |

| Thinking that you will die at some point is the best way I know of to avoid that wrong feeling that you have something to lose. You are already naked. No reason not to follow your heart |

| Your huge part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you think is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found one yet, keep looking. Do not stop. As with all things close to your heart, you will know and feel for yourself when you find it. Over the years, this relationship will get better and better. Keep looking until you find it. Don't stop |

| Being the richest man in the graveyard doesn't matter to me. Going to bed thinking I did something amazing is what really matters |

| Leaving Apple was the best event that could have happened in my life. The weight of the burden of success was replaced by the lightness of the moment that I became again. It helped me to breathe for the most period of my life |

"Steve Jobs quotes"

| When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like this: "If you live every day like it's your last, you'll be right someday". This made an impression on me, and from that time on, for the next 33 years, I looked at myself in the mirror every morning and asked the question: “If this day was the last day of my life, would I do what I planned to do today?” And when the answer was "No" for many days, I understood that something needed to change |

Steve Jobs quotes. Image: Mike Nudelman/Business Insider

| My business model is like a band The Beatles. It was four guys who balanced each other's strengths and weaknesses so that the resulting overall result exceeded the sum of all of them individually. This is how I see business: great things never happen because of just one person, they are created because of a team of people |
