edison: restlessness is discontent--and discontent is the first necessity of progress. show me a thoroughly satisfied man--and i will show you a failure.
Is this saying that the man is a failure if he's thoroughly satisfied? If so, thats pretty rough. I guess thats the mentality you need to create something like a light bulb though.
hm... i didn't think of it like that, but you're right. but i guess if you're thoroughly satisfied you'll never care to change anything, in which case you're just stagnating. and since everything changes all the time, stagnation really does equal death.
