Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is October 3rd... Now, did you know that today is National Techies Day? Yep, it's the day we celebrate all the people who keep our gadgets working, our code running, and our Wi-Fi from having a meltdown.
Whether you're a software developer, IT support hero, or just someone who knows what 'Java' means outside of a coffee shop, today’s your day. So, if you’re near a techie, give them a high five—or better yet, send them a well-timed meme. On that note, today's quote is from one of the most iconic tech innovators of our time, Steve Jobs, who said:
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
Let’s unpack this. Jobs wasn’t just talking about the obvious game-changers like creating the iPhone or the personal computer. He’s talking about the mindset that techies, and really anyone who thinks differently, brings to the table. It’s easy to stick to the known path, the tried-and-true methods, but it’s the "crazy" thinkers who see a future no one else sees.
The ones who say, "Why not?" when the world is saying, "No way." Techies live this every day—solving problems, fixing things, building systems that make our lives a bit easier (or at least more entertaining).
I mean, where would we be without the people crazy enough to invent the internet? Probably reading the backs of cereal boxes, let’s be honest. So, today, take a moment to appreciate the techies who make your life easier.
And if you are one of those brilliant minds, remember that it’s your willingness to think outside the box, or, more likely, outside the cloud, that has the power to change the world. Thank you for spending a few minutes with me today on The Daily Quote.
I hope Steve Jobs' words and National Techies Day give you a little extra motivation to think big and maybe even be a little ‘crazy’ in the best way. I’ll see you tomorrow for another dose of inspiration. Until then, keep thinking differently!
