8 stars speak out on Steve Jobs - Larry Ellison - FORTUNE →

I remember when Steve was my neighbor in Woodside, Calif., and he had no furniture. It struck me that there wasn’t furniture good enough for Steve in the world. He’d rather have nothing if he couldn’t have perfection.

And I jokingly said, “The difference between me and Steve is that I’m willing to live with the best the world can provide. With Steve that’s not always good enough.” And if you look at how he tackles building a phone, or building a laptop, he really is in pursuit of this technical and aesthetic perfection. And he just won’t compromise.

Don’t compromise. Don’t settle. Don’t own anything unless it is something that adds real value to your world. Question everything. And when the answer is “yes”, wait a while and ask the question again.
