Tim Cook Quotes

• “I don’t really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.” ~Tim Cook
• “We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number, so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose…..It’s not just saying yes to the right products, it’s saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as other ones.”  ~Tim Cook, CEO Apple.
• “You look for wicked smart people. You look for people who appreciate different points of view. People who care enough that they have an idea at 11 at night and they want to call and talk to you about it. Because they’re so excited about it, they want to push the idea further. And that they believe that somebody can help them push the idea another step instead of them doing everything themselves.” ~Tim Cook
• “I personally admire Steve not most for what he did, or what he said, but for what he stood for. The largest lesson I learned from Steve was that the joy in life is in the journey, and I saw him live this every day.” ~Tim Cook
• “We care about every worker in our worldwide supply chain… What we will not do – and never have done – is stand still or turn a blind eye to problems in our supply chain. On this you have my word.” ~Tim Cook, Apple CEO Tim Cook Supply Chain guru.
• “You can only do so many things great, and you should cast aside everything else.” ~Tim Cook

“We’re very simple people at Apple.  We focus on making the world’s best products and enriching people’s lives.” ~Tim Cook

“Price is rarely the most important thing.  A cheap product might sell some units.  Somebody gets it home and they feel great when they pay the money, but then they get it home and use it and the joy is gone.” ~Tim Cook
