Excellent, Henryk.

I'm in the middle of reading David McCullough's "The Wright Brothers." Apart from being thoroughly wonderful and enjoyable because of the brilliant teller and story, it describes REAL achievement. Wilbur and Orville's primary motivation was not wealth or fame but to fly like the birds. They made it a reality -- and not by trickery.

Dr. Roopleen is trying to help, but her remedies are superstructure trying to balance on who knows what. Often the basics of building are somehow missing -- all the decisions based upon knowledge, logic, probability, etc.

For me, I build spaces, drawings and paintings, arguments, speeches, and articles -- don't always get them right. But there is always an idea that carries them through -- ahh! That's the motivation.

Best to you.
