Hmmm...

GW: It’s not a question of solving. It’s a question of stating.

Stating?

GW: Yeah. You don’t solve anything ever, really. You simply state a problem which, when you’re lucky, gives you some idea of what possible problems you can—it indicates, you know, your future headaches.

But that’s all related to the idea of the “game”—it’s being a “game”?

GW: Whatever word you want to use—you want to use “work”? Use the word “work.”

Work—play—

GW: I use the word “play”; but you understand the word “play”—if you ever watch children play—what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they’re dead serious. They’re not on vacation.

Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth. Margaret Atwood (via kari-shma)

Travel keeps you young. It does this simply by putting you in situations that make you feel like a child again. Magically lost in a moment of discovery. Beautifully confused. It could be the 5:00 a.m. call to prayer from the local mosque on Morocco’s far Atlantic shore, the first time you feel the weight of the Egyptian sun on your shoulders, the first time you paddle out over the shallow reefs of the Caribbean, or the first time you realize that people living in squalor can achieve happiness as easily as those living in mansions. These are life’s opportunities to shed the hustle of modernity, to join the moment, and stop sprinting toward some prefabricated goal. Your heart races. Your metabolism shifts into a lower gear. Everything is new again. (via woodnwhite)

Today a dealer says, “We can’t get your car in a week. It takes three months.” And you say, “Now wait a minute, I want to order a pink Cadillac with purple leather seats. Why can’t I get that in a week?” And he says, “We gotta make it.” And you say, “Are you making Cadillacs today? Why can’t you paint a pink one today?” And he says, “We didn’t know you wanted a pink one.” And you say, “OK. I’m going to tell you I want a pink one now.” And he says, “We don’t have any pink paint. Our paint supplier needs some lead time on that paint.” And you say, “Is your paint supplier making paint today?” And he says, “Yeah, but by the time we tell him, it takes two weeks.” And you say, “What about leather seats?” And he says, “God, purple leather. It’ll take three months to get that.” You follow this back, and you find that it’s not how long it takes to make stuff; it’s how long it takes the information to flow through the system. And yet electronics move at the speed of light - or very close to it. The late Steve Jobs
