In search of inspiration and good stories, I watch a lot of videos. This one really stands out. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
And the guy that made it– he’s 17.

Dont be a passive viewer of the world. You don’t want your children to grow up and ask, ‘What were my parents good at? Well, they were really good at watching YouTube videos.
Jake Nickell, founder of Threadless, as presented in this video, which you need to watch if you have even a tiny bit of creativity in your bones:
(Thanks to Colin Harman for sharing!)
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
Thankfully, dreams can change. If we’d all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses. So whatever your dream is right now, if you don’t achieve it, you haven’t failed, and you’re not some loser. But just as importantly - and this is the part I may not get right and you may not listen to - if you do get your dream, you are not a winner.

But, if we should serve others and together serve some common goal or idea for anyone of you, what is that idea? And who are those people? In my experience, you will truly serve only what you love. Because service is love made visible. If you love friends, you will serve your friends. If you love community, you will serve your community. If you love money, you will serve your money. And if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself, and you will have only yourself. So, no winning. Instead, try to love others, and serve others and hopefully find those who will love and serve you in return.
