“I am not talking about rebelliousness, but giving people time for constructive internal reflection and even daydreaming. A lot of research is suggesting that the more that you demand people's external attention, the less chance you are allowing them to dip into the default mode where daydreams and reflection happen - and lot of great ideas are not going to come from the brute force of work but from personal life experience. Mind-wandering seems to be essential to the creative process, and I don't think a lot of businesses are aware of that fact.” PeopleThinkingGivingMindIdeasFactsSeemsHappensForceProcessChanceAttentionTalkingCreativeDemandEssentialsResearchReflectionWanderInternalsAllowingLife ExperienceCreative ProcessPersonal LifeConstructiveBrutesGreat IdeaDaydreamingNot TalkingDefaultSuggestingDipBrute Force Author:Scott Barry Kaufman
“Every limited mind demands a certain freedom of expression, and the man who cannot express himself satisfactorily without the stimulation derived from the spirited mode of two centuries ago should certainly be permitted to follow without undue restraint a practice so harmless, so free from essential error, and so sanctioned by precedent, as that of employing in his poetical compositions the smooth and inoffensive allowable rhyme.” MenShouldMindTwoCertainPracticeCenturyHe ManExpressionDemandEssentialsErrorsCompositionSmoothRestraintRhymeFreedom Of ExpressionPrecedentSpiritedStimulationEmploying Author:H.

“In college, unable to be "special" - or in demand - as a girl, I made myself useful, even essential, in my microcosm - as a writer and photographer for the band, particularly for the band director. My "specialness" was to produce something of value, not to look like something (with that different kind of "value"), so I was still fundamentally invisible, but had a significant purpose.” LooksKindMadeStillsDifferentPurposeValuesGirlSpecialProduceCollegeBandDirectorsDemandEssentialsPhotographerSignificantInvisibleDifferent KindsLike SomethingMicrocosmSpecialness Author:Cris Mazza

“Grown-ups love figures... When you tell them you've made a new friend they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies? " Instead they demand "How old is he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make? " Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.” ThinkingDoeMadeMatterAsksFatherGamesSoundVoiceFiguresDemandEssentialsButterflyNew FriendsCaterpillarsLike A Butterfly Author:Antoine de Saint-Exupery
