(ray) the thing that's exciting about being an inventor is actually creating some new ideas, some newa positive impact on people's lives. if you can be out in the world and interacting and confronting problems, i mean that's what life is all about. i mean i have confidence that actually any problem you encounter in life, there's an answer that you can find to overcome that problem and that each day at the end, i kind of think what challenges did i have today? how did i do in solving them and tomorrow's another day. it kind of starts over again and regardless of whether today went well or not, it's a whole new world tomorrow. (camilla) it's been difficult for me to make a decision about what to do with my life because there's no one area that i seem to have a particular aptitude for and because of that, i've never really pursued any one thing. you don't necessary need a path, you just need the next project. like this roadtrip is an exciting project so you got excited about it and you did it so find your next project. then when you've done a couple of projects, you know two points makes
