To boldly go where no man has gone before

Okay apart from the debate on if the word man refers to mankind or those with penis’s, I really liked this show as a kid. I liked the idea of the ‘new frontier’ where you can do things that count and leave a legacy for those that follow.

So when Julia Gillard gave her speech ‘Be Bold’ in congress, it got me thinking that you do not need a new frontier in space to still boldly go.

See there are new frontiers that happen every day. The changes in the middle east a great example. Whether those changes will be good or bad are yet to be seen,  but changes happen. And when they do, then we must also change.

The PM’s speech is interesting in that it was as aimed at the US congress as well as us. Be bold. Do not be fearful. Have confidence in what you can do and push yourself to see what it is you did not know you could.

Be bold.

Indeed. Australia could do a lot by being more bold.

You only live once. Live it fully. Fear of the unknown makes as much sense as fear of change.
