It's just more religious crap to try to herd the masses.

I totally support this quote. It means that people always have to desire to try something new, for the beggining(amateur) you can buld an ark, but after you will continue to learn you can build a titanic... Right now, by supporting this quote I am lerning a totally new language, so far I know a little but after a while I will master it and then use it in my future.

its pretty weak. Of course, you do not have to be a professional to accomplish something great. I think that's what your trying to say, but there are better ways to say that than with this quote.
Actually, the ark was designed by God, not by Noah. But really the comparison between the ark and Titanic has nothing to do with who built them. It has to do with the way their respective skippers navigated through their conditions. Noah was wise and humble; the captain of Titanic was foolish and arrogant. Noah respected nature; Titanic seemed to challenge it and was cursed by her own reputation as unsinkable.

nope, doesn't work for me.
the titanic was a ship like any other - there was nothing wrong with the way the titanic was built. the claim that it was "unsinkable" was outrageous. after all, she sank for a reason plus the crew screwed up big time. they had been receiving messages all day from other ships, telling them about the icebergs and freezing water, but they didn't listen...

Is there any sense in being afraid of anything new? Guess, none. We always should try!
But I think being professional is much better then being amateur.

"Amateur" means literally " for love", so you will always get better results from a true amateur.

Well i guess that we should learn from time to time, to improve our skills, knowledge, and experience. so we can build something and be someone good.
