I always think of Tim O'Reilly as an inspiring example of a Maker. Will I ever be anywhere close to being up there with him? No. Will I consider myself a failure if I'll never be a true Maker? No. But it doesn't hurt to go through life with the aspiration to be a little bit like Tim O'Reilly. Perhaps that will make me spot an opportunity that I would otherwise have overlooked. This quote by the man himself never ceases to inspire me: “Pursue something so important that even if you fail, the world is better off with you having tried.”
