The Idea That Maybe You Don't Have

I Think The More You Have A Generalist Perspective, I Think Sometimes The More You Can Kind Of See Through The Forest And The Trees. And When It Gets A Little Bit Cloudy, You Know, Have Some Sense Of, "well, Maybe This Might Happen Or Maybe That Might Happen." So I Really Am A Big Believer In Liberal Arts Education. I Think It's Better - Particularly In These Kind Of Uncertain Times - To Know A Little Bit About A Lot Of Things As Opposed To Being Expert In One Thing.

Steve Jobs Always Believed That You Didn't Want To Do Focus Groups Or Research And Ask People What They Wanted. You Wanted To Create Products That They Didn't Know They Wanted Yet And They Would Fall In Love With. And I Think That Was Part Of The Magic Of His Design Philosophy.

So You Have To Force Yourself Out Of A Comfort Zone And Really Try To Figure Out What Are The Key Ingredients, The Key Skill Sets, The Key Perspectives That Are Necessary, And Then Figure Out A Way To Attract The Very Best People To Fill Those Particular Roles.

One Of The Problems With Computers, Particularly For The Older People, Is They Were Befuddled By Them, And The Computers Have Gotten Better. They Have Gotten Easier To Use. They Have Gotten Less Expensive. The Software Interfaces Have Made Things A Lot More Accessible

I Like ... What I Characterize As More Built-to-last Ideas Rather Than Built-to-flip Ideas.
