I’ve learned… that just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day!’ makes my day.

Most of the people in the world are good and decent if you give them a chance to be.

Small daily happenings make life spectacular. Start enjoying the small things in life!

My computer’s memory stores a million phone numbers with perfect accuracy, but I have to stop and think to recall my own.

Computer memories work in a manner alien to human memories. My memory lets me recognize the faces of my friends, whereas my own computer never even recognizes me.

Because computers have memories, we imagine that they must be something like our human memories, but that is simply not true.

Run for your lives-the computers are invading. Awesomely powerful computers tackling ever more important tasks with awkward, old-fashioned interfaces.
