1 00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:13,363 There are events that become pivot points in history. 2 00:02:14,539 --> 00:02:16,826 We usually mark the past by the wars we fight, 3 00:02:16,856 --> 00:02:21,556 where you hear people talk about things before the war and the world after the war. 4 00:02:22,117 --> 00:02:25,967 The after-the-war world is born out of human struggle and cruelty. 5 00:02:27,238 --> 00:02:32,024 Sometimes there are events born out of human ingenuity and courage like discovering fire, 6 00:02:32,578 --> 00:02:35,628 or inventing the Internet, or walking on the moon. 7 00:02:35,961 --> 00:02:38,061 Sometimes it's a little of both. 8 00:02:39,817 --> 00:02:43,475 We had no idea what was going to happen or what we were going to do about it. 9 00:02:43,505 --> 00:02:46,005 And we had no idea the price we'd pay. 10 00:02:48,332 --> 00:02:49,832 There was no plan... 11 00:02:50,294 --> 00:02:53,793 There were no lofty thoughts about changing the world. 12 00:02:54,109 --> 00:02:57,159 We just did what we thought was right at the time. 13 00:02:57,549 --> 00:03:01,049 And I would do it all again, even knowing the consequences. 14 00:04:11,453 --> 00:04:14,678 See, the thing is, I've never actually written a resume before. 15 00:04:14,708 --> 00:04:15,760 Wait, are you kidding? 16 00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:17,703 No, I've just never had to. 17 00:04:17,733 --> 00:04:20,668 You know, school led to one thing, which led another thing, to another thing, which led... 18 00:04:20,897 --> 00:04:22,938 No, okay. That makes sense. That makes sense. 19 00:04:22,968 --> 00:04:25,604 But I mean, come on.

Okay, so the only thing that I would say is, 25 00:04:39,414 --> 00:04:43,246 I know it seems to make sense to put everything in chronological order... 26 00:04:43,565 --> 00:04:47,495 but you might want to start with your most recent work and then work backwards. 27 00:04:47,724 --> 00:04:50,752 - Oh, oh, I get it. And go, and go... right. - Right. Because then the most relevant 28 00:04:50,782 --> 00:04:52,836 - stuff is at the top - Right, that makes sense.
