Dandelion clock: noun. British: the downy spherical seed head of a dandelion. Origin: from the child's game of blowing away the seeds to find out what time it is.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

"Full of broken glass..."

"It was not in Steve Jobs’s nature to nurture. But it is impossible to read the operatic story of Jobs’s life without pondering the relative roles of nature and nurture."

"Being given up by his birth parents left Jobs “full of broken glass,” said the mother of the daughter Jobs essentially abandoned during her early years."

I'm guessing that Steve Jobs was much more of an "adoptee" full of all the "issues" than he ever let on to the world.  How he dealt with those issues we will never truly know, but it made him who he was....both the good and bad.  He survived and thrived...in spite of it all.
