"This is the real secret of life --
to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now.
And instead of calling it work, realize it is play."
Alan Wilson Watts

"Much of my school time I disliked.
There was a time after 8th grade, when I preferred the science of billiards. I took the year off and learned Billiards at the local Pool Hall.
I carried on 'learning' new disciplines... one at a time; until I knew many extremely well: many disciplines and all the levels of the English language needed for each discipline. My education was learning forever... many disciplines; social and natural sciences and the humanities also.
Interdisciplinary or Multidisciplinary cooperation as it was first called. I made a very good living selling my Know-How. Much more money than just being an Electrical Engineer. They bought me... a Jack of all Trades, and I got the job done very quickly!"
I'll be 81, April 17, 2014 and still excited about learning.
It keeps me alive and feeling great-enough to create a little something new.
I learned something new last night!

Historically the first practical use of the multidisciplinary approach was during the Second World War by what became known as the military-industrial complex. Notably the Lockheed Aircraft Company set up its own special projects operation - nicknamed the skunk works - in 1943 to develop the XP-80 jet fighter aircraft in just 143 days.
In the 1960s and 1970s the multidisciplinary approach was successfully employed in the UK by architects, engineers and quantity surveyors working together on major public sector construction projects and, together with planners, sociologists, geographers and economists, on overseas regional and urban planning projects.
