Drive and intuition

I read something this weekend (in an old interview with Steve Jobs) that struck a chord:

'The thing that drives me and my colleagues at both Apple and Pixar is that you see something very compelling to you, and you don't quite know how to get to it, but you know, sometimes intuitively, it's within your grasp. And it's worth putting in years of your life just to make it come into existence.'

Intuition is something that both Tony (my skiing partner for the next expedition) and I are relying on at the moment. There are times when the sheer scale of the project seems overwhelming, but there's always that familiar old voice in the back of mind whispering 'there's always a way'. One things for sure; we've got a busy time ahead…

On a different note, a friend of mine is a DJ for a North London community radio station – I joined their breakfast show last Friday and was absolutely blown away by the guest band, Truepenny. If talent counts for anything in the music business these days, these lads will go far.
