Trophies make you live in the past

Ooh I found another goodie from DailySpeculations.com. The last line is thrilling:

Polaroid's announcement last month that they will stop making film is a timely reminder that the world moves on and that those who want to survive must move with it. All that's left now is the usual bit of nostalgic kicking and screaming.

This reminds me of one of the habits of International Master Bob Wade, OBE, who is still playing tournament chess in his late 80s. He makes a point of not keeping trophies, saying it would make him live in the past.
Wow. Makes me want to take all my clippings and programs from past shows, put them through a shredder and go on an audition.
