Today's thought...
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

What is Saint-Exupery saying about learning, motivation and dreams? Why would it be better to teach people to "long for the endless immensity of the sea" rather than to assign tasks to get the job done?
