Steve Jobs:

And as you start to interact with some of these people, you find they're not a lot different than you. The people actually making these decisions every day, that're sorta running the world, you know, are not really very much different than you.

And they might have a little more uh, judgment in some areas, but basically they're the same. And once you realize that, you start to feel you have a responsibility to do something about it, because the world's in pretty bad shape right now.

I guess one of the things that motivates a lot of people that I've seen that actually get out and do something in any different field, is that we all sort of, uh, you know, eat food that other people cook, and wear clothing that other people make, and speak a language that other people evolved, and use someone else's mathematics, and we're sorta taking from this giant pool constantly.

And the most ecstatic thing in the whole world is to actually put something back into that pool. And I think people from all the fields that maybe you've heard from here, and a whole bunch that you haven't, would express the same sort of feeling. It's the most ecstatic thing that I've encountered, so I would highly recommend it.
