“ I’ll always look at [a] project and judge it by its potential. I’m foolish in the same way we all are with the things we make: I’ll continually chase my tail and believe that the thing I’m producing can be better. I’ll never let it go, because all it ever needs is just one more thing. And then again, then that, again, forever.— Frank Chimero
But this is a prideful indulgence. It assumes that I am the way these ideas are made better, and discounts that ideas go further when others carry them. Things only endure if they are given space, so these ideas must be set free. ”

“ Start every day as a producer, not a consumer.— aceex @ Reddit
[When you] start with what you really want to do, distractions [will] start to feel like a waste of time. You check Facebook just to make sure you're not missing anything important directed at you, but scrolling down and reading random stuff in your feed feels like a complete waste of time compared to what you're really doing today. ”

“ We are making a thing. ... The process of making something is pretty much always the same. There are moments you find yourself suddenly able to express something you’ve been trying to convey for a very long time. There are moments when you are pretty sure that you are a fake. In moments of clarity, I remind myself that these are the well known features of the landscape of realizing a large project. The wrestling match between belief and disbelief is the actual matter of making things. If I am not coming up against these complexities, chances are I am not facing a big enough challenge. ”— Khaela Maricich (The Blow)

“ We are the chosen ones, for we have chosen ourselves. ”— @kewagi
This wonderful sentence alone deserves a seperate post.

“ We drift from block to block, from city to city, traversing continents and timezones. We live in cheap hostels, tiny flats and abandoned structures, scavenging the left-overs of a fallen industrial society.— A fanfare for those who are still alive. – @kewagi
We speak many tongues, but one language. We smell riots long before they happen, and sense wireless hotspots. We distrust all that claim to lead us, and fear those who pretend to protect us.
We inhabit new worlds inside and outside our heads our ancestors didn’t dare to dream about. We are leaving their dreams of material wealth behind and spin new ones of liberty and life and happiness.
We hate those who demand respect without earning it. We phase in and out of different realities and change our personae like underwear. We are digital conquistadors, exploring the strange new plane that produced us.
We consider gender, skin color and spiritual alignment as accessoires we can wear, not as defining aspects of ourselves. We disregard nations, for we are children of the city and the river.
We are born as the slaves of a dying time, struggling to get free.
We are the chosen ones, for we have chosen ourselves.
We are the new. ”

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

“ Yes, things are a little screwy all over the place, but you can do ANYTHING you want now. NONE of the perfect software has been written. It's all waiting for improvement. You can do anything you want and profit from it. ”— Wccrawford countering the previous post on Hacker News

“ Think about what it is you’d like to be doing this time next year and set aside thirty minutes each day to practice that thing. No magical formulas, no great and powerful scheme. Thirty minutes. Every day. And then what? ... What if you’d spent four hours? Those four hours you’ve been known to spend with the TV, with the computer? Could you? What would happen? ... What if you spent all day? ... What if you got so good at practicing that thing that you figured out a way to make it your job and then every single day you woke up and someone, somewhere paid you - just to keep practicing? ”— Dallas Clayton

“ Every time we sit down to write, draw, design, paint, dance, we do so because we believe there will be a tomorrow. Every movement and each creation says, “The world is not done yet.” To make is to be optimistic. We get to make tomorrow for ourselves and one another. We create to ease pain, to increase pleasure, and to get happy, believing that the goodness can be sustained. If we can do this for ourselves, we are lucky. When we are able to do so for others, we are tending towards glory. ”— Frank Chimero

“— Hacker News: The Sad, Beautiful Fact That We're All Going To Miss Almost Everything aka why I love HN. So much food for thought on a single page.”Statistically speaking, you will die having missed almost everything. ...You don't need to do it all. You just need to do it well. ...The more motivating question for me is: what have I produced? If time is an input, what is my output? ...Anything I accomplish will only have temporary meaning. And no, that doesn't bum me out. ..."Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." ...The connection between beings is what life is about – a moment of escape from our corporal prisons. ...Experience is not about quantity, it's about those magical moments when your world expands in a violent flight, and about learning to love the world in new ways. ...If you were the last person on the planet, would you still read and listen to music? ...It is so effortless today to produce art that works of incredible beauty are common enough to no longer be particularly notable. If it looks like nobody stands above the rest as clearly as Mozart or Beethoven once did, it is because the top end has become crowded, not because it was depopulated. ...Just because [books have] been the norm does not make them the best method of knowledge transfer.[Today more than ever,] it is an important ability being able to find, understand and implement stored knowledge. The killer app for knowledge is no longer distribution but contextual searching of data.
