~ RIP Nelson Mandela ~

A man who led by what he believed, who eventually took the path of peace to get freedom for South Africans. A lot to learn & lookup to. 

~ Quote on reading ~

"Reading is the work of the alert mind, is demanding, and under ideal conditions produces finally a sort of ecstasy. As in the sexual experience, there are never more than two persons present in the act of reading — the writer, who is the impregnator, and the reader, who is the respondent. This gives the experience of reading a sublimity and power unequalled by any other form of communication | E.B. White"

~ Steve Jobs on Connecting the dots ~

Steve P Jobs - The man who wasn't perfect, but delivered near perfection in all his work.

"If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life ” - Steve Jobs
