Steve Jobs.
I'm not going to pretend that I really knew that much about Steve Jobs before he died and that it affected me that much, but ever since then I have seen a lot of quotes and things by him. He had a lot of good things to say, apparently. It's kind of sad that the thing that made these things known to me was his death, but, what can you do? Anyway, there are two quotes in particular that have really stuck with me. Quotes are funny; you hear so many of them all the time, and I don't really know what makes some of them mean more than others. But, here we go:
1. I have heard this said a lot of time in a lot of different ways (most notably with the "Good, Better, Best" talk), but for some reason this way just made sense to me:
2. I just liked this one because of the new perspective it gave me. I don't know.
"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 ... the minute that you understand that you can poke life ... that you can change it, you can mould it ... that's maybe the most important thing."
The end.

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully"
