Cook is correct in his assessment that market cap alone is not the best measure of success -- all one needs to do is read up on Petrochina, the Chinese oil giant that reached a $1 trillion market cap in 2007, only to lose nearly four fifths of its value by the end of next year. But Apple's success did not come overnight; it's a testament to the company's ability to continuously beat analysts' predictions and turn a profit, quarter after quarter, year after year.

Cook's comments come after a stellar fiscal third quarter -- the best in the company's history -- in which Apple posted a revenue of $53.3 billion and net income of $11.5 billion. The company's stock price closed at $207.39 on Thursday following the earnings report, making Apple the first-ever, publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $1 trillion market cap.

In the memo, Cook also gave a nod to the guy that started it all -- Steve Jobs.

"Steve founded Apple on the belief that the power of human creativity can solve even the biggest challenges – and that the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do," he wrote.
