“Instead of trying to make my life perfect, I want to make it interesting”

The looming end to the school year also means end of high school for some of you. Here's a great talk that Drew Houston, founder of Dropbox, gave at his university graduation.

Why #mehackitloves? Drew tells you to follow your own path and make life interesting.

"There are 30 000 days in your life. Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure."

"You’re the average of the 5 people you spent the most time with. Surrounding yourself with the best is just as important as working hard."

"The happiest people are not just in love with what they do, but obsessed with it… like a dog is with a tennis ball. A lot of people don’t find their tennis ball right away, but your life should be about finding it."

Space

We ponder our insignificant place in the universe, and boldly go after stories of romance & cynicism in Outer Space.

This is such an incredible podcast! New Yorkers watching stars at a parking lot and Annie Dryan on how they sent a golden record of sounds - like a kiss and chinese music - to outer deep space in the Voyager Interstellar Program in 1977 <3

"And before the job at the startup, I had never owned a computer! I actually managed to get the job. So I borrowed this PC from my friend Jonathan and I asked how does wi-fi work and do I need a cable? It's funny to think this is only 3,5 years ago" -@Martinaelm, founder, Confetti

Young people today have lots of experience … interacting with new technologies, but a lot less so of creating [or] expressing themselves with new technologies. It's almost as if they can read but not write.
