Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I am nothing without pretend I know my thoughts Can't live with them I am nothing without a man I know my faults But I can hide them I still keep my baby teeth In the bedside table with my jewelry You still sleep in the bed with me, My jewelry, and my baby teeth I don't need another friend When most of them I can barely keep up with I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand, but I still can't kiss my own neck I wanted to give you everything but I still stand in awe of superficial things I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did Civilian Civilian

‎"Let go of the Past. Let go of the Future. Let go of the Present. With a heart that is Free. Cross over to that shore which is beyond suffering." ~ Dhammapada v. 348 ॐ Blue Buddha Quote Collective (lsh)

Sir Jonathan has been one of my idols for many many years. I cam across this quote today in an interview in London's Independent. (yes I was reading a newspaper) Sir Jonathan ive when asked : When you are cooking up with ideas such as the ipod (rdt - actually invented by another friend of mine tony) Do you try to solve a problem? A- there are different approaches - sometimes things can irritate you so you become aware of a problem, which is a very pragmatic approach and is the least challenging. What is more difficult is when you are intrigued by an opportunity. That, I think, really exercises the skills of a designer. it's not a problem you're aware of, nobody has articulated a need. But you start asking questions, what if we do this, combine it with that, would it be useful? This creates oppprtunties that could replace entire categories of Device (rdt - or idea or business plan). that's a real challange and that's what is exciting!

Happiness Now, take one. Happiness. "Happiness" is a word for a feeling. Feelings are rarely understood in the moment. They are quickly forgotten, and almost always mis-remembered. And besides, feelings are totally full of shit. "Feelings are full of shit"? I don't have that here, Doc. But... we'll go again. Right. Okay, we're still rolling. Happiness Now, take two. Happiness. "I don't think life is absurd. "I think we're all here for a huge purpose. "I think we shrink... I think we shrink from the immensity of the purpose we are here for."
