“Great products, according to Mr. Jobs, are triumphs of “taste.” And taste, he explains, is a byproduct of study, observation and being steeped in the culture of the past and present, of “trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done and then bring those things into what you are doing.”

“Design for yourself fast. You shouldn’t need to think about what you want, you are what you want. It just comes out of you, and it will be good.

Fast. Don’t get trapped.”
