This came from an interview with Morgan Freeman, talking about ‘picking up’ acting. I think this applies to physical ‘tools’ as well. For me, when I picked up a badminton racquet, it just fit… it just felt right in my hand straightaway… know what I mean 😉
Anyone care to share on this one?…
(For more on Morgan, check out his entry on IMDB.)

“Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘Humanity to others’, or ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’.” The word is also used as the name of a free operating system.
I also love the quote so had to post it for that reason alone. 🙂
The site also gives more detail on the name.
