As an outsider, you're just one step away from getting things done. A huge step, admittedly, and one that most people never seem to make, but only one step. If you can summon up the energy to get started, you can work on projects with an intensity (in both senses) that few insiders can match. For insiders work turns into a duty, laden with responsibilities and expectations. It's never so pure as it was when they were young.Posted by ronlusk at June 29, 2006 10:25 AMWork like a dog being taken for a walk, instead of an ox being yoked to the plow. That's what they miss.
