perpetual pursuit
Will Smith on the perpetual pursuit
“I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.”
~ Will Smith. Interview in Esquire magazine, March 2015.
The search for the simplicity of a single line
When I first started thinking about the Inner Art of Airmanship, I was looking for the common connections between all kinds of flying. Sometimes we find deeper truths that connect more diverse activities. Like how how search for the simplicity of a single line links a seventieth century French painter, Zen brush art, the trajectory of space missions, Formula 1’s racing line around a bend — and flying. See the wind, the energy, the traffic, and draw a line in the sky.
Ligety on the perpetual pursuit
“Even if you’re winning, you’re always trying to find something better.”
~ Ted Ligety, one of the greatest skiers of all time.
