Just A Thought:

People can help you in many ways throughout life, but there are two things nobody can give you: curiosity and drive. They must be self-supplied.

If you are not interested and curious, all the information in the world can be at your fingertips, but it will be relatively useless. If you are not motivated and driven, whatever connections or opportunities are available to you will be rendered inert.

Now, you won't feel curious and driven about every area of life, and that's fine. But it really pays to find something that lights you up. This is one of the primary quests of life: to find the thing that ignites your curiosity and drive.

There are many recipes for success, and there is no single way to win. But nearly all recipes include two ingredients: curiosity and drive.

The producer of old age is habit: the deathly process of doing the same thing in the same way at the same hour day after day, first from carelessness, then from inclination, at last from cowardice or inertia.

Habit is necessary; but it is the habit of having careless habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive... one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.

 Three Reactions to Technology Over Time, from Douglas Adams

1️⃣ Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2️⃣ Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new, exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3️⃣ Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
