Well, not an Apple employee here, and seeing this (in this form at least) for the first time. OK, maybe 'motivating' isn't the word that applies. I mean reading it I see some of myself (more the troublemaker and misfit parts. :-) And I've already been motivated to live my life the way "I" think I should. But reading it is at least helpful to continue to give me strength to continue the fight for what I think is the right way. So, to me, at least a positive message.
