It’s easy to say “preserve the best of the old and combine it with the best of the new,” but in revolution, the best of the new is incompatible with the best of the old. It’s about doing things a whole new way.
I'm too often torn between the "slow and stead, change will come" and taking a more proactive bull by the horns approach to just say, to quote Bob Dylan, "Your old road is rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand".
The above quote is from Clay Shirky at the 2010 NFAIS meeting and does sum up some of my current feelings.
