Steve Jobs died 10 years ago today.

Here are 10 iconic quotes from the Apple cofounder. Image
On following your passion.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” Image
On finding your path.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” Image
On the merits of simplicity.

“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Image
On striving for excellence.

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” Image
On going for it.

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Image
On daring to disturb the universe.

"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” Image
On what innovation really is.

"I’m as proud of many of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things." Image
On admiring your accomplishments.

"I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next." Image
On the importance of the little things.

"Things don’t have to change the world to be important." Image
On being called crazy.

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." Image

1/ Bookings from Europe to the US this summer? Down 25%.

Travelers are saying "nah" to border uncertainty, opting for Canada, Egypt, and South America instead.

Even luxury hotel bosses are spooked.

Let's get into it. Image
2/ The CEO of Accor, a French hotel group, is calling the US "an unknown territory."

Translation: People don't want surprises when entering the country and are making travel plans accordingly.
3/ Now, Germany, France, the UK, Finland, and Denmark are all saying "be careful" when visiting the US.

And American businesses are feeling that squeeze. Image

1/ Law school applications are surging, up 20.5% from last year alone.

Schools like Georgetown received 14,000 applications for just 650 spots, making this one of the most competitive years in recent history.

What's causing the jump?

Let's get into it. Image
2/ A weak job market and economic uncertainty are driving many to law school, seeing it as a stable career path.

Even MBA graduates from top schools are struggling to find jobs, adding to the influx of applicants.
3/ AI may be reshaping industries, but law remains relatively resistant to automation, making it an attractive option for those seeking long-term career stability.

But only a fraction of graduates secure those high-paying Big Law positions. Image

1/ Federal agencies have until today to justify their use of 10 major consulting firms.

If they can't prove these firms are mission-critical, their contracts will be cut.

That means putting billions in contracts at risk.

Let's get into it. Image
2/ In an effort to align with the current administration, consulting firms are rebranding.

Accenture is dropping diversity goals, Deloitte is removing pronouns from emails, and IBM is pitching itself as a cost-saving tech provider. Image
3/ But no one is more worried than Booz Allen Hamilton.

The firm gets 98% of its $11 billion revenue from government contracts and is positioned at the cliff's edge right now.

Its stock has already dropped nearly 30% since Trump's election, signaling investor fears. Image

1/ Older homes in the US are now nearly as expensive as newly built ones thanks to low inventory.

It's a stark contrast from the historical norm, and a trend that shows few signs of slowing down.

Let's get into it. Image
2/ Newly constructed homes are selling for just 3% more than older homes.

That's a significant drop from the average 16% premium seen since 1968, per a WSJ report.
3/ And the number of existing homes for sale fell from 1.7 million in 2019 to 1.1 million in 2024, hitting a near 30-year low.

So what's causing the shortage?

1/ BuzzFeed had a saving grace this week when it sold "Hot Ones" for $82.5 million.

But will it be enough to save the once high-flying digital publisher from financial collapse?

Let's get into it. Image
2/ "Hot Ones," known for its spicy celebrity interviews, will now operate as a stand-alone company under the ownership of a fund controlled by George Soros.

Host Sean Evans remains an investor, ensuring continuity for fans.
3/ The show has over 14 million YouTube subscribers and 4 billion views.

It even has a cultural presence on shows like SNL and "The Simpsons."

1/ Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).

Their goal? To slash $2 trillion from the federal budget, cutting nearly one-third of total spending.

But what exactly might go? Let's get into it. Image
2/ The US spent $6.75 trillion in fiscal year 2024, leading to a deficit.

Of that $6.75 trillion, Social Security, health, and Medicare were the biggest expenditures. Image via Business Insider
3/ Social Security alone accounted for $1.46 trillion, while health and Medicare cost $912 billion and $874 billion, respectively.

Those programs may not need annual approval from Congress but it would take new legislation to change them.
