કોણે કીધું ગરીબ છીએ ? કોણે કીધું રાંક ?
કાં ભૂલી જા મન રે ભોળા! આપણા જુદા આંક.
થોડાક નથી સિક્કા પાસે, થોડીક નથી નોટ,
એમાં તે શું બગડી ગયું? એમાં તે શી ખોટ?
ઉપરવાળી બૅન્ક બેઠી છે આપણી માલંમાલ,
આજનું ખાણું આજ આપેને કાલની વાતો કાલ.
ધૂળિયે મારગ કૈંક મળે જો આપણા જેવો સાથ,
સુખદુ:ખોની વારતા કે’તા બાથમાં ભીડી બાથ.
ખુલ્લાં ખેતર અડધેપડધે, માથે નીલું આભ,
વચ્ચે નાનું ગામડું બેઠું, ક્યાં આવો છે લાભ?
સોનાની તો સાંકડી ગલી, હેતુ ગણતું હેત;
દોઢિયાં માટે દોડતાં એમાં જીવતાં જોને પ્રેત!
માનવી ભાળી અમથું અમથું આપણું ફોરે વ્હાલ;
નોટ ને સિક્કા નાખ નદીમાં, ધૂળિયે મારગ ચાલ!
Design must be functional and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics, without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained.
એવું છે એક દિલ, જે સદા મહેરબાન છે, મારે ફિકર શી, હાથમાં એના સુકાન છે.
ગગન, શું ડરાવીશ તું આંખ કાઢી!
સિતારાથી આઘે અમારી મજલ છે.

મનુભાઈ ત્રિવેદી - ‘ગાફિલ’
|
We don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.
That’s one of the best parts of my job, actually,” he said. “We thought long and hard about how you tell somebody what you stand for, what your values are, and it occurred to us that if you don’t know somebody very well, you can ask them, ‘Who are your heroes?’ You can learn a lot about someone by knowing who their heroes are.
Jobs was literally dancing, hips swaying in a joyous mambo around the conference table while Schiller and Ive beamed. Yes, he was a showman. But even more than that, he was the ultimate Apple fanboy.
A lot of times, people don’t do great things, because they aren’t really expected of them, and nobody demands they try,” he said. “Nobody says, ‘Hey, that’s the culture here, to do great things.’ If you set that up, people will do things that are greater than they ever thought they could. Being a pirate means going beyond what people thought possible—a small band of people doing some great work that will go down in history.
Fruit, an apple,” he said. “That simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. When you start looking at a problem, it seems really simple—because you don’t understand its complexity. And your solutions are way too oversimplified, and they don’t work. Then you get into the problem and you see it’s really complicated. And you come up with all these convoluted solutions. That’s where most people stop, and the solutions tend to work for a while. But the really great person will keep going and find the key underlying principle of the problem and sort of come full circle with a beautiful, elegant solution that works. And that’s what we wanted to do with Mac.
Apple’s goal isn’t to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products. We trust as a consequence of that, people will like them, and as another consequence we’ll make some money. But we’re really clear about what our goals are. We try not to bring out another product that’s just different. ‘Different’ and ‘new’ is relatively easy. Doing something that’s genuinely better is very hard.
