Break the rules.
Accept the unexpected.

   The Charles H. Duell myth
“There is nothing left to invent…”


                   Charles H. Duell
           U.S. Patent Commissioner, 1899
                   (an urban myth)
Could there also be too much
complacency in our industry today?
Can we put our work into
 historical perspective?

So, we’re somewhere in the 1980s...
“Cease not to learn until thou
 cease to live. Think that day
 lost wherein thou draw’st no
 letter to make thyself more
 learn’d, wiser, and better.”

      Guy Du Faur de Pibrac
My big message:
Don’t be complacent.

   And you CAN
 change the world,
 so get on with it!
