keep alive...

I like security and am pretty conservative...
a tendency for most of us as we age.

However, unlike many of my age,
I am always looking for new experiences,
particularly in some forms
of technology.

We aren't finished with our journey
as we can still learn and grow.
Never completely give up
your adventurous spirit...
and never ever give up your imagination.

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative
to change their situation because
they are conditioned to a life of
security, conformity, and conservatism,
all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,
but in reality nothing is more dangerous
to the adventurous spirit within a man
than a secure future.
The very basic core of a man’s living spirit
is his passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from
our encounters with new experiences,
and hence there is no greater joy
than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different sun."
