Steve Jobs on Coaching

I know this is a bit old now, but reading a lot of quotes from Steve Jobs and think a lot of it applies to how and why I coach too.

• “Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
• “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your inner voice.”
• “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.”

I am not an Appleophile, but do think Jobs was a special individual who did change things.
