How can I explain such a thing? I simply know it in the way I know there's an oak tree inside an acorn...I've come to know it only this night, but it has always been the tree in the acorn.

(Her silver button) reminding me of the destiny I always believed was inside of me, waiting. How can I explain such a thing? I simply know it - the way I know there's an oak tree inside an acorn.
I've been filled with a hunger to grow this seed my whole life...
That's why I was born for (abolition)... I've come to know it only this night, but it has always been the tree in the acorn...

Jeff often used an analogy in those days when describing our efforts to innovate and build new businesses. βWe need to plant many seeds,β he would say, βbecause we donβt know which one of those seeds will grow into a mighty oak.β It was an apt analogy. The oak is one of the sturdiest and longest-living trees in the forest. Each tree produces thousands of acorns for every one tree that eventually rises to the sky.
