In thinking a little more about this fellow and his project up in the Alps, what stands out to me is the pleasure he takes in his work. He's in no rush, he's not anxious about time, he doesn't get upset -- he really is just enjoying the process. I don't know a lot of people who work in this way. Usually, people are so focused on the end result that they rush through what they're doing. Like the people who speed climb -- almost a kind of jock mentality.
This guy's the antithesis of that. He's efficient but he's not rushing. He actually enjoys the process. Now, why should that mentality be so foreign? I really can't think of anyone I've ever worked with who had this approach. Maybe part of why I've sought it in other ways, through other cultures and other times. Nice to see a current, contemporary example of it. I wonder if it's more of a European mindset?
Anyway, here's the third installment.
