" The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you.  It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.

When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way that it is.  And that your life is to live your life inside the world and try no to get into too much trouble and maybe get an education and get a job and make some money and have a family. But life can be a lot broader than that when you realize one simple thing. And that is that everything around us that we call life was made up by people that are no smarter than you.  And you can build your own things, you can build your own life that other people can live in.

So build a life, don’t live one.   Build one."

- Christopher Ashton Kutcher
