Shoot for the moon …

In a recent article in The New Yorker (“Man of Extremes”, October 26, 2009), James Cameron says “If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success”.
It’s a bit of a mouthful, but I agree wholeheartedly.
Those who worked at Red Sky back in the day will remember our oft-repeated (ad nauseum) motto of sorts:
“Shoot for the Moon. Land on the Roof.”
Same idea, but I like our way of saying it better. I wish more projects these days were seemingly inspired by such a risk-seeking position. Everything feels very tentative these days.
(Thanks to John Gruber for calling this out.)
