I just read Steve Job’s address to the 2005 graduating class of Stanford. It is an inspiring read. “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.”
My children used to love the Magic School Bus cartoon, and Mrs. Frizzle used to say something very similair: “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!” … I agree.
