The PBS documentary, Steve Jobs – One Last Thing, contains video (I believe from 1994) in which Steve Jobs offers the following advice.
“Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you.
The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually, if you push in, something will pop out the other side – you can change it. You can mold it. That’s maybe the most important thing.” (Steve Jobs)
