As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren’t just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity everything requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

— John Collison

I love this quote. A lot. It’s a good cue to reflect on the world around, and be grateful for the contributions of others.
