Steve Jobs – Secrets of Life

So the thing I would say is…

 

When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is, and your… 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 life,have fun, save a little money.

Uhh, but life… that’s a very limited life.

 Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is: 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.

And 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, 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.

 

We can’t be afraid of change…

You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in,

but if you never venture out of it,

you will never know that

there is such a thing as an ocean or a sea.

– C. Joybell C.

We’re all sinking in the same boat here.

We’re all bored and desperate and waiting for something to happen.

Waiting for life to get better. Waiting for things to change.

Waiting for that one person to finally notice us.

We’re all waiting. But we also need to realize

that we all have the power to make those changes for ourselves.

– Susane Colasanti

Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything.

Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on.

In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes.

That’s the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open.

Only a coward closes his eyes.

Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.”

Haruki Murakami

Be the change

Be the change that you wish to see in the world

Don’t be afraid of change…
