There was once a frog that lived in a well. One day, a soft-shelled turtle came by and told him about the sea. “The sea?” Said the frog. “Hah! It’s nothing but paradise in here. I assure you, there is no place in the world that is better than inside this well. Why don’t you come down here and share my joy?”
The turtle tried, and failed as the mouth of the well was too small. “Why don’t you go see the sea instead?”
Moral: Some ignorant people know nothing and refuse to know beyond their own world.

— Tao Te Ching – Chapter 9

Before his death, Jobs revealed what the ‘i’ in iMac actually stood for, and we’ll have to assume it’s the same thing. He said that it meant ‘internet’, ‘individual’, ‘instruct’, ‘inform’, and ‘inspire’. That said, he also mentioned that it could mean a ‘personal pronoun’, or ‘instruction’ as in education.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

As Tupac himself described thug life: I don’t consider myself to be straight militant. I’m a thug, and my definition of thug comes from half of the street element and half of the Panther element, half of the independence movement. Saying we want self-determination. We want to do it by self-defense and by any means necessary. That came from my family and that’s what thug life is. It’s a mixture.
