After watching the video about Niels Diffrient "Rethinking how we sit down', I've come to the conclusion that life can take you anywhere, and do anything. Niels Diffrient started out wanting to design/create airplanes in the 30's. A cool approach for an interesting life. He didn't get to do what he really wanted to do in life. But, he did still get to do something that was sort of related to what he originally wanted to do: drawing airplanes. He enjoyed doing it enough, to have done it for 25 years! Until he grew tired of it. Then he decides to design his own office chair! Completely random, and having absolutely nothing to do with his original goal for what he wanted to do in life. I'm glad he designed his own new office chair. He took an already existing item, and made it better ten fold! At the end of the video, he seemed so proud of himself for what he had accomplished in his life. I don't blame him at all!! It's great seeing or hearing about things like this. Someone taking an already existing item, and making it even better than when it was originally made!
