There
is Always a Frontier
.
Shot blasting gives an encouraging perspective. The
trade of the
steelmaker is thousands of years old - one of the most ancient and
useful known to man. It has been a most important trade in war and
peace, and the best brains and talent have been applied to it through
all these years. Research men are always optimistic, but their optimism
increases if they can make a contribution to such a highly developed
industry, for then they can see endless opportunities in newer and less
explored fields.
We know very little about anything, and there exist
limitless
opportunities for us in every industry if we will think and work. Or,
to put it another way, there will always be a frontier where there is
an open mind and a willing hand. ●
