"A Caution to Everybody

Consider the Auk becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk. Consider man who may become extinct because he forgot how to walk and learned how to fly before he thinked."

A poem by Ogden Nash. He and Richard Branson obviously shared the same insights. Or was Richard just well read?

Branson is interesting. I like the story he tells of, when at a young age, he was left to his own devices to figure out how to cross a city and make his way home. Branson seems more "make it up as you go"; Nash more "remember your origins". Good to read both. I haven't sent out a Nash quote in quite a while, thanks for the reminder!
