Once you've mastered a piece of machinery it's always that same piece of machinery. Always with the same repetitive sets of inputs/outputs. But people are always different, growing, challenging and worthwhile. More and more I find that the real satisfaction in life comes from learning about people, how to understand and communicate with and enjoy them.
Getting a good performance out of a piece of machinery is one challenge but once learned, it is easily repeatable. As an airline captain, inspiring a good performance out of a flight crew and surrounding support teams - consistently -in all sorts of conditions. That is the real and never-ending challenge. And it comes with an even deeper satisfaction when achieved.
