• The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.

• The lesson here, and my advice for other developers, is to find a way that you can quantify for people what your product is worth.

This is one person trying to understand another person, even though it doesn't have room to download the other person into it's brain. It cannot understand the other person, even though it tries to.

• Maybe tomorrow is counting on me
  To learn my lessons today
  I'll start by taking a step at a time
  And stop throwing my blessings away
  I'll get myself up and I'll brush myself off
  And take back some of the pride that I've lost
  'Cause you can't always keep your feet on the ground
  I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down
