Buildings or Roads Which is Best?

Seth Godin Puts It This Way: "If you want to make a long

term impact, build the roads".

I was reading an article by Stewart Brand and he points out

that if you compare two maps of downtown Boston–from say

1860 and 1960, It does not take very long to realize that

almost every single building has been replaced. All Are Gone!

You could do this for just about any large city, take a period

of time, let's make it 100 years. you will see the same result.

The buildings are pretty much gone, replaced by any number

of things.

The roads of those city studies, for the most part, are still there. Still being used, still being driven on, and walked on. They haven’t changed a bit. The curbs, the intersections, the round abouts are are largely as they were. The Roman Road system still exists, for over 2.000 years now,That kind of planning, that kind of attention to detail, those are the qualities that must go into building your business. An eye for good  quality, an eye for longevity. Have you made these things the real cornerstone of your business

Where will the business you are putting the blood, sweat and tears into, be in 50 years. Are you building it for the future? Do you really care if it will be here in 50 years? If you don't, you truly need to be doing something else. How do YOU go about doing what you do, in the place you hang out?
