You know there is certain amount of pride, that goes into doing something, be it you love or it not, but there is glory in being able to bring something to life.
it's alive.
but, like any first-time parent would tell you, a child being born is only the easy part --- that being has to live longer than you do.
and that is the analogy I want to carry into the things I build, things that last beyond my life time, or even my interest in the thing itself.
like teaching.
You teach, student learns. You move on --- they grow beyond what you taught them. I see the things I do in the same light --- start it, nourish it, let it grow.
Where am I going with this, well, its simple:
don't start or do anything that lacks the power to grow itself (Faithless type quote).
That is the state of mind, I am today. Oh, and
do not obsess about it outliving you --- you won't be alive to see what happens to it, so why care?
1ove, work.
