"When you grow up you tend to get told 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: 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






"Loneliness is only an opportunity to cut adrift and find yourself. In solitude you are least alone."
   -Bruce Lee



“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the

"The very first company I started failed with a great bang. The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed. The third one, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay.

- Max Levchin

"We choose to go to the Moon and do these other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"
