I hope you're as lucky as I am. The world needs inventors--great ones. You can be one. If you love what you do and are willing to do what it really takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn't keep every girlfriend I ever had.

The easier it is to do something, the harder it is to change the way you do it.

I really worry about everything going to the cloud.

Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it have a computer in it.

To give of yourself is much more important than giving a gift you can buy.
