Re: An apology from someone a little foolish, a little selfish, and a little inconsiderat
It was unfortunate that time constraints didn't allow this speech the attention it deserved. I know we'd all rather be watching robots bashing their bumpers out and poof balls flying through the arena airspace, but speeches like this are the real key to what FIRST is all about. We don't know where the future of the world is going. YOU have to shape it, mold it, create it, with your two hands and your brilliant minds.
Listen to the speeches given at competitions. The robots are just the vehicles to your future, which run on the fuel of wonderful speeches like Ken's. |

Re: An apology from someone a little foolish, a little selfish, and a little inconsiderat
Ken,
As it's written, that is a great speech. I'm sure it was even better in person. Things like this need to be said... no apologies are needed. I feel that the people who run these events have the right to stand up on their soapbox and say a few words to the crowd, even though the crowd is tired and want to go home. Positively, your message got through to many in attendance. This sort of thing is good for FIRST. I can see a person saying in a couple of years... "hey, that is what Ken was saying back at the 2006 Cal Games". Great job with Cal Games this year. Andy B. |
