One of our forum posters asked an interesting question this morning. "Why don't you just copy the speaker Arnie Nudell built already? Why improve what has already been established as a masterpiece?"
To me, that question is better stated as move forward or sit still?
It's nice to sit still and enjoy the fruits of our lives. I do it nearly every day when I hear my stereo system, drive my car, converse with friends and family, relax in my home. I look at this as a rest stop, a chance for reflection.
When a reflective, stationary, existence becomes a way of life, we often think of a monastic or retired person.
For me, life's a series of brief respites coupled with constant forward motion: learning, growing, contributing. Infinity System's founder, Arnie Nudell, was like that too. As soon as he signed up for our speaker project his sleeves went into automatic roll-up mode. "Let's build something better," was his battle cry.
I am more interested in the journey than the destination.
