Stained glass window at Naperville Settlement Church

Nothing to do with project management- but I certainly admire the workmanship and history related to this church window. I can imagine the detail, the hours invested, the architectural drawing (I imagine it existed) from which the artisan or artist based his or her work on.

In our microwave and disposable society, most things are not made to last anymore. The things that last typically have the following characteristics: timeless beauty, painstaking hard work invested, quality materials, superior quality control and quality management.

For anything to last, the cost may be initially higher. But the cost of ownership will certainly be a lot less. Something to remember and think about.
