"Being curious and exploring tentative ideas were far more important to Steve than being socially acceptable. For Steve, wanting to learn was far more important than wanting to be right. Jobs' insatiable curiosity meant he never acted like his experience gave him all the answers, even after Apple became a giant."
"I loved how he saw the world. The way he thought was profound. Ive described Jobs as ferocious, energetic and restless in how he tried to learn new things, right up until the end of his life, never allowing his position to limit his pursuit of knowledge and understanding."
Jony Ive, Apple's former chief design officer, reflected on his 15-year partnership with Steve Jobs in a letter published by The Steve Jobs Archive. Working closely together on legendary products including the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and iMac, Ive emphasized that Jobs' defining characteristic was his insatiable curiosity rather than claiming to have all the answers. Jobs created a collaborative culture where leaders debated vigorously, evolved their views, and admitted mistakes. Despite Apple's massive growth and success, Jobs maintained a restless, energetic approach to learning throughout his life. Ive credited this curiosity-driven mindset as essential to Apple becoming one of the few companies with a market cap exceeding four trillion dollars.
