As Steve Jobs put it, You tend to get told that the world is the way it is.. But thats a very limited {View}. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is everything around you that we 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.
And the minute you understand that you can poke life..that you can change it, you can mold it. Thats maybe the most important thing —to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you are just going to live in it. And once you learn that, you will never be the same again
