"Challenge is our middle name." -Article/essay
Came across a well written piece that i thought was worth sharing with everyone here. It's by Kevin Kott, the President of dSPACE Inc. (Do you come here Kevin?)
Can you imagine your life without challenges?

A few highlights:
"In the engineering community we love challenges. Challenge is our middle name. Not only do we become smarter and more proficient as we achieve challenging goals, but we improve the world around us."
"...the toughest challenge is finding and nurturing the engineering talent for innovation."
"...the more challenges we overcome, the better we evolve."
