Steve Jobs on Focus

Quote

Reply

Steve Jobs And it comes from say­ing no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always think­ing about new mar­kets we could enter, but it’s only by say­ing no that you can con­cen­trate on the things that are really important.

– Steve Jobs
