Steve Jobs' wise words inspire millions of people to take bold steps in life. But what life principles helped him achieve success, and what advice did he give to everyone?

What are Steve Jobs’ 10 pieces of advice to help you succeed and transform your life – read the material below.

1. Be true to your heart

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Choose what truly inspires you, even if it seems risky.

2. Believe in your ideas

Jobs started Apple in a garage, but his faith in its success turned the company into a global leader. Even if no one supports your idea, believe in it until it becomes a reality.

3. Simplicity is genius

"Simplicity is harder than it seems. But once you achieve it, it conquers everything."

Jobs used this principle in designing his products. The simpler the solution, the more effective it is.

4. Don’t be afraid of mistakes

Mistakes are part of success. Jobs was fired from his own company but came back stronger, turning Apple into a legend.

5. Surround yourself with the best

"It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

A team of strong professionals is the key to achieving ambitious goals.

6. Always stay hungry for knowledge

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

This became Jobs’ motto. Keep developing yourself, try new things, and experiment.

7. Focus on the essential

"Getting rid of unnecessary things makes us stronger."

Steve Jobs believed in the power of minimalism. Don’t try to do everything at once — concentrate on what truly matters.

8. Maintain balance

"Find a balance between different types of wealth — financial, social, temporal, and physical."

9. Live each day like it’s your last

"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am doing today?” And if the answer was “no” for many days in a row, I knew I needed to change something."

10. Value what you have

"The six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence, and friends. Maintain them in all stages and enjoy a healthy life."
