Apple

 
 

Of all the apple products out there, the Pink Lady is probably the best. A good Jazz Apple may come in a close second. As for Apple products, I've never been a fan, but of the swathe of misquoted remarks Steve Jobs has said over the years, there's one I've thought about with increasing regularity:

“The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world.”

I've not fully appreciated how applicable that statement is in a “normal” setting until recently. Surrounding yourself with smart, motivated, and genuinely pleasant people is quite a remarkable thing, which makes me think of another gem:

“You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose.”
