There’s no iPhone, iPad or MacBook today without Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs. He passed away today at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

In this blog post, I’ve collected some of inspiring Steve Jobs quotes, please feel free to share it.

• Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
• Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.
• It comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much.
• I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.
• It’s rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.
• Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
• The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.
• If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it’s worth — and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago.
• Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could — I’m searching for the right word — could, could die.
• Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
• 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.
• Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.
• I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.
• Unfortunately, people are not rebelling against Microsoft. They don’t know any better.
• Bill Gates‘d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
• The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products.
• My job is to not be easy on people. My job is to make them better.
• We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.
• 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.
• Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?
• Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
• Recruiting is hard. It’s just finding the needles in the haystack. You can’t know enough in a one-hour interview.
  So, in the end, it’s ultimately based on your gut. How do I feel about this person? What are they like when they’re challenged? I ask everybody that: ‘Why are you here?’ The answers themselves are not what you’re looking for. It’s the meta-data.
• People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.
• We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life.
• The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.
• 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 other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
• I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year…. It’s very character-building.
• I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do.

Thank You Steve, you will be missed.

“Don’t judge my brother; he’s not a book” is one of the popular Melanisms quote of Melanie Marquez (Miss International 1979). I watched her guesting in Gandang Gabi Vice last Sunday and decided to collect her quotes.

Here are some Melanisms quotes that I’ve found on the net:

• I won’t stoop down to my level.
• Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?
• ‘Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.
• Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo… Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.
• We are lovers, not fighters.
• My brother is not a girl; he’s a gentleman.
• That’s why I’m a success, it’s because I don’t middle in other people’s lives.
• Don’t judge my brother; he’s not a book.
• Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.
• I don’t eat meat. I’m not a carnival.
• Sumasakit ang migraine ko.
• Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!
• Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point. (When asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right.).
• Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong taon sa inyong lahat.
• When asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused by their houseboy: “Don’t worry little angel, big angel is here.”
• On what they should do to the houseboy who molested her kid: “He should be put behind bar.”
• “You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool me thrice. But you can never fool me four”
• While waiting backstage during a noontime show, after watching Nikki Valdez do her dance number. “Nikki, you’re so galing. You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes.”

Who is Martin Luther King Jr? He was a advocate and famous leader in the African American civil rights movement in the United States. He was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia and was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was a true hero for African-American people in USA and famous in his quotes. Here are some of Martin Luther King Jr quotes:

• Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars…. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
• I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
• The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.
• Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.
• I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live

Me and my wife watched “My Amnesia Girl” last night, kinilig kami kay Irene (Toni Gonzaga) and Apollo’s (John Lloyd Cruz) cheesy pick up lines. Below are the list of lines they used:

Irene: Alam mo, baka di ka na makauwi.
Apollo: Bakit?
Irene: Eh kasi nasa isip na kita.

Apollo: “Sabi sa census may 11 milyon na tao sa Metro Manila. Paano mo malalaman na nahanap mo na yung taong para sa’yo? Maaring nakita mo na siya, pero yumuko ka para magsintas. Maaring nakatabi mo na siya, pero lumingon ka para tingnan ang traffic lights. Maaring nakasalubong mo na siya pero humarang yung pedicab. May mga maswerteng tao na nahanap na yung taong para sa kanila. May mga tanong patuloy na naghahanap at may iba na sumuko na. Pero yung pinakamasaklap, eh yung na sayo na pinakawalan mo pa”

Sikat ang Pinoy
by Sherwin Anos

Sikat ang Pinoy kahit saang larangan
Iba-ibang lahi tayo’y hinangaan
Kasipagan natin bunga ay katanyagan
Anumang balakid ay nalalampasan

Tayo’y Pilipino sa puso at diwa
Ang pagtulong sa kapwa ay halimbawa
Ngayo’y bihira nang makita sa iba
Gayunpaman atin pa ring dinadala

Pilipinas, bansang ating sinilangan
Ilang tao’y nagbigay ng karangalan
Naging angat sila sa ibang dayuhan
Oras na para sila’y pasalamatan

Yan ang Pinoy, Sikat!
