I am proud of that very fact. We have, and have had, a lot of really talented people on this project (from teens and students through professionals) and from all over the world too. It is neat to see all of their contributions. No matter how big or small these contributions have been, these people are all appreciated. I have been inspired by a lot of this talent. It really humbles me and sets me in my place.

That being said, and no matter what degree of appreciation I may try to give back, I realize you can’t make everyone happy. There are always those individuals that take things the wrong way–crippled by pride, those dissatisfied with how slow things take, or what they feel is a lack of organization or leadership or what they feel something should be. It is a shame really but that is the case in life.

Truth be told, those people exist everywhere, in every project, at every job and in every social setting; in life in general they exist. You can’t make everyone happy no matter what. There are always the doomsayers, the complainers, those never satisfied (for the wrong reasons). You can only do what you can do to make your project, your job, your marriage, your friendships, the best they can be and control what you can. You are only responsible for what you own. You own what you can fess up to being responsible for. Outside of that, you can only pray for the rest and I do that a lot it seems.

All in all, complaints aside, with regard to this project, I am proud of all the accomplishments and contributions of every last soul on this project and those yet to come onboard. I am glad they are and have been and will be, part of this team. Everyone else, just zip it. Find your own project. Kidding, I am not that harsh though many tell me I am too nice and should be more harsh.

This project truly is a community effort, where everyone has a say and contributes and builds upon the efforts of those that came before them. Just like in real life. Everyone has a place in the construction of this world. If you think planning this project is a world in the making, wait until you see the way the world develops at launch.

Cheers.
