"In the old days, you became an adult when suddenly your life went from learning to doing the same thing for the rest of your life, but today you can’t afford to do that."
Joi Ito
"One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful."
"Rather than beautifying one’s own creation, make better the environment that surrounds it."
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
You can’t learn in school what the world is going to do next year.
