The pioneering spirit
March 22nd 2010Great quote from adventurist Bertrand Piccard, trained as a psychologist and psychiatrist.
“It’s easy to have new ideas. The pioneers are those who have the courage to throw a lot of ballast overboard. Habits. Certainties. Convictions. Dogmas. Paradigms. And when we do that, life is not just a line that goes in one direction and in one dimension: it becomes the meeting point of all possible lines that spin out in all directions, in three dimensions. A pioneer spirit is what allows us to explore all ways of doing, behaving, thinking, to find how to go in the direction we want.”
