Since becoming a member of DesignMind I have had second thoughts, Is this a place for me??
Somehow I don't think so!
I am an innovative mechanical design engineer which is a subject that somehow does not seem to belong to this site?
Look forward to a reply.

Regards
Brian

Dear Designmind,
A certain member Allen Young, is constantly sending unsolicited garbage to Architectural Innovation. This is most annoying. Even though I have blocked this user I still receive these messages. Please advise this member of the professional nature of this forum, this is no kindergarten. I would appretiate it if you could block this nonsense.

Regards
Andrew Creighton

It will be pleasure and a great honor to be associated with Designmind thoughts leaders, Please allow me to thank you for your interest in my thoughts.

You know The Bible says, '.for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.' (James 1:6-8 NKJV)). This Scripture applies specifically to asking God for wisdom, then rationalizing and vacillating when He gives you an answer. But the same principle applies to all of life. Have you ever seen anything more fickle than a wave? The wind that takes it one direction today, takes it in an entirely different one tomorrow.

Our life experiences go through it all every single day, and that’s the way we should view life’s work. A designer knows when to stop and changes he ways of his thinking. This words have taken me through a lot by just applying a simple principle of life.

There is still hope for our country and the sustainability of our heritage, What Designmind has done with the website was father more the step and the future of any industry in our country. And I feel honored to be part of such unspeakable achievement.
