Design has taken the place of what sailing used to be.

Summary

This quote suggests that in contemporary times, design has assumed the role that sailing once held. It signifies that design has become a new way of exploring and navigating through life's challenges and possibilities. Just as sailing required skill, effort, and a sense of adventure, design now encompasses similar characteristics as individuals endeavor to craft solutions, innovations, and aesthetic experiences. Design has become the guiding force in shaping our surroundings, products, and even our thoughts, replacing sailing as a metaphor for progress and discovery in the modern era.
