I don't mean to overstate what is yet unknown, but part of me believes when the story of earth is told, all that will be rememered is the trust we exchanged. The vulnerable moments. The terrifying risk of love and the care we took to cultivate it. And all the rest, the distracting noises of insecurity and the flattery and the flashbulbs will flicker out like a turned-off television.

Making a social impact in the world is a metric of personal worth that is as important, or more important, than the money you've made.

Self-esteem -- the sense that "I'm not afraid to confront this problem and I think I can solve it" -- doesn't come from abundant resources. Rather, self-esteem comes from achieving something important when it's hard to do.

Clayton Christensen in How Will You Measure Your Life

I believe that both thinking modes--one to comprehend the details and the other to "see" the whole picture, for example, are vital for critical-thinking skills, extrapolation of meaning, and problem solving.

Great software gives us tremendous freedom, as long as we work within its boundaries.
