Sunday Show and Tell

    "Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
    And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
    They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
    Everything else is secondary.

    When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.
    This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras.
     It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
    Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.
    It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.
    Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
    It was their farewell message as they signed off.
    Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
    And I have always wished that for myself.
    And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
    Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
    Thank you all very much."

    A few Sunday Show and Tells ago I put up a quote from John Green.  Where he said, find someone who can do what you want to do better than you can do it and listen to them.
    I don't think there is anyone on earth who couldn't learn from listening to Mr.Jobs, no matter what you want to do/are doing in life, his genius was and always will be an inspiration.
    To the man that changed our world......
