More From Jonathan Ive

The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. that unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.

For someone such as myself, who is kind of feckless and immature, it's better to have rich friends than to be rich yourself, because then you have wealth without the responsibility. you get to go to their houses, and you get acquainted with a level of furniture that you cannot provide for yourself. furniture, i think is the most important attribute of rich people.
Friends Responsibility Thinking
What you have to understand, is your father was your model for god. if you're male and you're christian and living in america, your father is your model for god. and if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about god? what you end up doing is you spend your life searching for a father and god. what you have to consider is the possibility that god doesn't like you. could be, god hates us. this is not the worst thing that can happen.
Christian Father Hate
I always had a philosophy which i got from my father. he used to say, 'listen. god gave to you the gift to play football. this is your gift from god. if you take care of your health, if you are in good shape all the time, with your gift from god no one will stop you, but you must be prepared.'
Football Father Philosophy
He didn't call his father and mother 'father' and 'mother' but harold and alberta. they were very up to date and advanced people. they were vegetarians, non-smokers and teetotalers, and wore a special kind of underclothes. in their house there was very little furniture and very few clothes on the beds and the windows were always open.

My mother was a gypsy, and she had a lot of dark blood in her, and her hair was very, very thick - she couldn't even get a brush through it. so i have been very fortunate. and every time i go to cut it off, hairdressers refuse to do it.
Mother Dark Cutting
When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.
Mother Rain Thinking
Our mythology tells us so much about fathers and sons. ... what do we know about mothers and daughters? ... our power is so oblique, so hidden, so ethereal a matter, that we rarely struggle with our daughters over actual kingdoms or corporate shares. on the other hand, our attractiveness dries as theirs blooms, our journey shortens just as theirs begins. we too must be afraid and awed and amazed that we cannot live forever and that our replacements are eager for their turn, indifferent to our wishes, ready to leave us behind.
