Steve Jobs:

Uh... a lot of stuff here is rags-to-riches. I was listening back there. Sorta wanna be careful about that, because there's a lot of people that have been real successful in other terms that aren't here, "cause maybe they didn't make a lot of money, that you want to listen to very carefully.

And one of the things that- that tends to run through some of the things that people here have talked about is innovation and creativity. And if you're really bright-_have you ever thought about what it is to be intelligent? Probably some of you have, right? 'Cause you meet your friend, and he's pretty dumb, and maybe you think you're smarter and you wonder what the difference is?

And I've thought about this a little bit myself, and one of the things is, it seems to me a lot of it is memory, but a lot of it is the ability to sorta zoom out like you're in the city and you could look at the whole thing from about the 80th floor down at the city, and while other people are trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B reading these stupid little maps, you can just see it all out in front of you. You can see the whole thing, and you can make connections that just seem obvious ‘cause you can see the whole thing. That's why bright people feel guilty a lot, cause they come up with stuff that they just say, "Hey, look at this. and other people give them these dumb awards and they feel funny.
