"Only those who will risk
going too far can possibly
find out just how far one can go!"
T.S. Eliot
I believe this is true in every field of endeavor. When we are
passionate about something, people will invariably call us "obsessed,"
"addicted," "unbalanced." However, innovators MUST possess the
seemingly one-sided kind of drive that keeps them plowing through all of
the blocks, challenges and nay-sayings that would prevent them from
carrying out their vision. If "going too far" is a flaw, it is the risk
necessary to advance on the path of creativity. Like the pendulum on a
clock, we can only find our balance by swinging - at least temporarily -
to the extreme side of a particular direction.
