Re: Please don't cop out
Posted by Chris, Coach on team #308, Walled Lake Monster, from Walled Lake Schools and TRW Automotive Electronics.
Posted on 3/29/99 1:03 PM MST In Reply to: true, it never will be fair, so why change it? (EOM) posted by colleen on 3/28/99 8:45 PM MST: The thing that I hate to hear most is that "Things will never be (fill in the blank) so why change?" That is the biggest cop out I've ever heard. If this were true, then why do we do anything in life? Why do we make new laws, review the rules of golf every few years, make a new motor design for the next model year automobile? Because change can IMPROVE things. Things may never be perfect, but through a series of improvements (through CHANGE), things become much closer to perfect. Just because something doesn't solve all of the problems, doesn't mean it isn't an improvement and it isn't worth while to implement it. If change weren't worthwhile, all of us engineers would be out of jobs, since cars, computers, etc. work just fine now. We all have jobs because things can be changed and improved. And remember - "Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine." |
