Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me and I’ll understand.
— Native American proverb (via lisapark) (via quote-book) (via hiten)
We must stop looking at education as a product – in which we turn out every student giving the same answer – to a process, in which every student looks for new answers. Life is a beta.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.

Life loves to be grabbed by the lapel and told “I’m with you kid, lets go!

Most projects aimed at innovation fail because creators become distracted by their egos from the true goal: to solve real problems for real people.
Your job isn’t to make someone love you, but love yourself and allow someone too as well!

This is why I hate those “What men think” / “What women think” how-to books. The problem isn’t figuring someone else out; it’s knowing yourself better and allowing someone else to get close. Getting inside someone else’s head is impossible, and trying to do so is frustrating and futile. Knowing what you want out of a relationship is the only thing worth worrying about because it’s the only thing you can control.
Is there a gap between what you’re CAPABLE of doing/being and what you’re ACTUALLY doing/being? If so, watch out. That’s where regret/anxiety/disillusionment hang out. Close the gap and there’s no room for that madness. Actually do what you’re capable of doing? Enter bliss.

There is no passion to be found… in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
