Letters to a Young Creator

The Steve Jobs Archive released a short book called "Letters to a Young Creator" today. It can be read online, on Apple Books or downloaded as an EPUB.

John Gruber shared this section from Laurene Powell Job's introduction to the series on Daring Fireball. I liked it too.

Among the books that mattered to Steve was Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet.I’m struck by this line from its pages: “Live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer, one distant day in the future.”

This is a time to live your questions. The beauty of answers, when they do come, is that they allow us to ask new and better questions. Life is learning how much we have yet to learn. In this volume, we have asked distinguished creators of diverse fields to share some of their answers to questions you asked at the beginning of your fellowship year. You’ll find candid stories of struggle and success, mistakes, and milestones. The wisdom they share in their reflections was forged by asking the kinds of questions you’re asking now.
