When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money.

That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

きみがオトナになったら，たぶんみんなにこう言われるだろう．世の中はこれこれというふうに出来上がっていて，きみはその中で生きていかなければならないと．壁をたたき過ぎないようにすべきだし，落ち着いて家族を持って，楽しみを見つけ，すこしばかり貯金するべきだと．

そんな人生はツマラナイ．きみの可能性はもっと広い．そんな世の中を作ったきみのまわりのオトナたちよりも，きみはもっと賢い．きみは世の中を変えられるんだ．人々を動かせるんだ．そして，他の人達も，きみが作り上げたものを使うようになる．きみがこのことをひとたび学んだら，もう二度ともとには戻らないだろう．
