Re: We stand on shoulders of giants

Ken, once again your words amaze me. I actually haven't been paying attention to the logo thread because to me FIRST isn't about the logo so it didn't occur to me that it mattered all that much.

But your post struck home, nonetheless. Change is scary. The unknown is scary. Familiarity is comforting. Routine is comforting. ("May you have an interesting life." is a Chinese curse, not a blessing). But routine becomes boring and I've seen way too many people accept things like bad jobs and dysfunctional relationships because of how comfortable that familiarity is. I don't really support radical change as a way of life, but I know the wisdom of finding a balance between change and tradition.

Thank you for those words, Ken.

Heidi

Go away change. Come back tomorrow, maybe I'll be ready for you then.
