Steve Jobs makes an interesting point:<\/p>\n
You know, we don\u2019t grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved\u2026 I mean, we\u2019re constantly taking things.

Having been away from a school setting, and entering a more intense school setting than I\u2019ve ever experienced has been shocking. Still is, and will probably continue to be so for the next few years as I chase my diploma, a job, a family, etc.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s my point? Not sure\u2026 just that I agree that being creative, whether on a large or small scale is an incredibly rewarding endeavor.<\/p>\n
