To Whom we Choose to Listen

I heard
A motivational talk
By Steve Jobs today

“They tell you that you have to live
In a box,” he said
“But life’s not like that.

“You can shape it, mold it.
You can poke life
And something comes out the other side.

“I think it’s
The most important lesson
Anyone can learn…”

Had he said that while standing
In rags on a street corner
It would have motivated

Him right
Into the
Nuthouse
