And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Steve Jobs – Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

Mark Twain – motivation
You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.
