Got this quote from my manager today. I wanted to share:
“I honestly believe that the future is going to be millions of little things saving us. I imagine a big seesaw, and one end of this seesaw is on the ground with a basket half-full of rocks on it. The other end of the seesaw is up in the air; it’s got a basket one-quarter full of sand. And some of us got teaspoons, and we’re trying to fill up sand.
A lot of people are laughing at us, and they say, “Ah, people like you have been trying to do that for thousands of years, and it’s leaking out as fast as you’re putting it in.” But we’re saying, “We’re getting more people with teaspoons all the time” and we think, “One of these years, you’ll see that whole seesaw go Zooop! in the other direction.” And people will say, “Gee, how did it happen so suddenly?” Us and all our little teaspoons.”
