You’ll Never Be The Same Again

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.
Steve Jobs

This man was truly a visionary, and this quote tells me that Steve Jobs was as much an artist as he was a “tech guy”, and he showed us the beauty of design, which for him was an ethos as much as an aesthetic. It’s like how when physicists speak of the elegance of theories; art is in everything–it’s not a product but a way of living.

    Could not agree more.

    Thanks for sharing that quote. I’d never seen it before.

    I hadn’t seen it before, either. Definitely one I’ll remember.
