33 When you grow up you tend to get told world is way it is and your life is just to live your life inside world - try not to bash into 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: 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 or people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be same again. - Steve Jobs learning learning initiative initiative
