How Often Do Our Heroes Stand Still? It's Hard To Imagine Spock And Kirk Landing On A Planet And Just Relaxing For A Month Or Two. Just Hanging Out Has Nothing To Do With Boldly Going Where No One Has Gone Before. What Makes Us Different From Every Other Creature Is That We Go Places, Places We've Not Gone Before. We Do It Willingly, And Often. What Makes Our Work And Our Life Interesting Is Discovery, Surprise, And The Risk Of Exploration.

Copy, Not From Your Industry, From Others. You Have To Go Where There Is No Competition.
