Steve Jobs: “The doers are the major thinkers” #startup #stevejobs

I've seen a lot of people make a lot of things. I've seen a lot of people fail a lot of things. And my point of view on this or my observation is that the doers are the major thinkers. The people that really create the things that change this industry are both the thinker, doer in one person. Did Leonardo have a guy off to the side that was thinking five years out in the future what he would paint or the technology he would use to paint it? Of course not. Leonardo was the artist, but he also mixed all his own paints. He also was a fairly good chemist, knew about pigments, knew about human anatomy, and combining all of those skills together, the art and the science, the thinking and the doing, was what resulted in the exceptional result. And there is no difference in our industry, the people that have really made the contributions have been the thinkers and the doers. It's very easy for somebody to say, oh, I thought of this three years ago. But usually when you dig a little deeper, you find that the people that really did it were also the people that really worked through the hard intellectual problems as well.
