Everybody wants to or needs to hear inspirational and moving words to keep the momentum going in their career or personal life.

And who else’s words can be better than our entrepreneur heroes like Ratan Tata, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Bruce Lee, many more. They have earned this golden opportunity to become everyone’s hero with their life work and dedication towards their goals.

Not only are these inspiring words but they are a part of their life lessons that take years to learn.

I follow their words, take them seriously and apply them wisely in my life and career, and I hope you do too. If you are like me, then you see them as your teacher, mentor or a master we never had in our schools or colleges.

Today I am sharing my favorite quotes from my favorite hero of all time. I remember listening to his speech he gave at Stanford University in 2005. Ever since, I listen to the speech whenever I feel demotivated or to give up.

He doesn’t need an introduction, everyone knows his name, the co-founder of Apple, Inc, Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs, one of the smartest businessmen of all time, is very well known for his excellence, intelligence, perfection, passion and high standard.

I bet you’ll find Steve Jobs quotes on leadership inspiring and motivating in such a way that you’ll just want to read every morning before you start your work.

You’re going to love them!!!

HERE ARE MY FAVORITE TOP 15 INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM STEVE JOBS ON LEADERSHIP AND LIFE:

1. "Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life."

2. "You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."

3. "Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

4. "You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new."

5. "We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?"

6. "For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

7. "I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."

8. "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

9. "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

10. "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

11. "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."

12. "Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."

13. "I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next."

14. "That’s been one of my mantras—focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple."

15. "I’m as proud of many of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things."

SUMMARY

Steve Jobs is amongst those successful men who have worked their whole life to make their dreams come true.

Everyone dreams but not everyone makes them their reality. If you think you’re crazy enough to think you can change the world, then you’re the one who does just like him. You should follow these 15 Steve Jobs inspirational quotes on leadership. Read them everyday and you’ll see the difference in your life and career, the inspiration coming from within is always a permanent one.

There are many people who don’t know this man. They think Steve Jobs was lucky that’s why he was able to trick people into buying his smartphones for higher prices. The success came easy to him, or he had money this is why it was possible, etc. What they don’t know is how many days and nights he has worked religiously just to make his dream come true. He is not coming from a wealthy family. He had his share of struggles in childhood.

And not just him, many successful businessmen have their struggles, fears to face and challenging childhood. They have earned the opportunity to become inspiring leaders and masters.

They are the ones to look up to, for me it is Steve Jobs amongst the other leaders and entrepreneurs. He was a dreamer who believed in changing the world.

To me his speech at Stanford University in 2005 is still a gold, forever inspiring and emotional as well. A treasure for his followers. It’s really a masterpiece that still has a special place in my heart.

I hope these inspirational quotes will become a part of your lives too.

I wish you success and prosperity in life!!!
