"When you grow up you, tend to get
told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life
inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family,
have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much
broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that 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, you can build your own things that
other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.
The minute that you
understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know if you
push in, something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can
mold it. That’s maybe the most important thing. It’s to shake off this
erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus
embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.
I think that’s very important and
however you learn that, once you learn it, you’ll want to change life and make
it better, cause it’s kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that,
you’ll never be the same again.”
Most people never pick up the
phone, most people never ask. And that’s what separates, sometimes, the people
that do things from the people that just dream about them. You gotta act. And
you gotta be willing to fail… if you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very
far.”
Steve Jobs.
