Mark Shuttleworth dixit

Every time I go for a jog I end up huffing and puffing and thinking “hell, if I was a bit fitter, this would be easier”. But the reality is that if I were fitter, I would just want to run further or faster, and end up huffing and puffing anyway. :-)

I think we are all driven to push ourselves in one way or another—to explore some idea or activity that’s interesting.

I’ve learned a lot along the way. But I’m not inclined to wish for anything different to the set of mistakes I know I made. :-).

Think of how often we think we know what’s going to happen, and then life works out totally differently. Imagine, then, if you went back and changed something in your past. You may think that would avoid one glitch in the journey, but the truth is it could take you off somewhere else entirely, and it’s impossible to know where that would have been.
