Growth is a shift in perspective

• from the but­ter­fly that lives for today to homo vul­garis, who lives for tomorrow
• from people living “until the vaca­tion” to people build­ing the future
• busi­nesses that plan years ahead, social projects designed for the next gen­er­a­tion, and sci­en­tists who think on a scale beyond their own lifetimes.

I saw the year 2080 on the plan of Invitro, a chain of med­ical labs, and felt ashamed of myself.
