It's all kind of crumbled and crashed part way down the mountain since then.

A lesson worth the cost?

The body has certainly gone down hill but the mind still wants to do what it wanted to do for the last 45 years at least—create something. Anything. Then, make money.

I see this position as that of the greats - creators. It doesn't even matter if they made the money (though that is nice), it is being able to spend a life being generative, rather than extractive. The best of course is when what is generated is valuable enough to create demand for it; a painting, a bridge, a cure.

At the end of life, I don't care how I am remembered, but I do hope that I had a positive effect.
