Chaos needed for growth

Chaos needed for growth. Order, while it provides safety, is very boring. So the world and the creatures that live within the world need both order and gas.

— from Takeoff Into Chaos

In the book

There is real opportunity inside it; crisis and disorder are often the very moments when the chance for substantial, meaningful change finally appears. Order keeps you safe, yet pure order is also lifeless and dull — the world and every living thing in it need both. The richest place to fly is the narrow border between them, where you are turning a little chaos into order and living creatively, the way a musician improvises — daring, but controlled, like driving fast with your hands sure on the wheel. — Takeoff Into Chaos
