“Designers are by nature more inquisitive, more connected. They dig a little deeper in terms of insights. They turn those insights into innovation. That connection to the consumer is absolutely critical in driving innovation. It’s critical that design isn’t subjugated to the back room as a short order cook for marketing or for merchandising or sales. It has to be up front.” LittlesOrderTurnsTermRoomsFrontsDesignConnectionsInnovationMarketingDeeperInsightConnectedCriticalDrivingConsumersCooksDesignerInquisitiveMerchandising Author:Mark Parker

“Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.” ThinkingWayRealSometimesReasonLightHappensAbleSufferingTurnsLeftGriefCarEventsCreationProudLateTestsTrainDeeperDespiteToo LateNo ReasonInabilityHumannessBereftHappenstanceDeeper MeaningHumanness Is Author:Neil Abramson
“Most private traders on a losing streak keep trying to trade their way out of a hole. A loser thinks a successful trade is just around the corner, and that his luck is about to turn. He keeps putting on more trades and increases his size, all the while digging himself a deeper hole in the ice. The sensible thing to do would be to reduce your trading size and then stop and review your system.” ThinkingWayTryingWould BeTurnsSuccessfulLosingIncreaseLuckTradeSizeCornersDeeperHolesIceThings To DoReviewsLoserSensibleTradingKeep TryingDiggingStreaksAround The CornerTraders Author:Alexander Elder
“Baseball is about homecoming. It is a journey by theft and strength, guile and speed, out around first to the far island of second, where foes lurk in the reefs and the green sea suddenly grows deeper, then to turn sharply, skimming the shallows, making for a shore that will show a friendly face, a color, a familiar language and, at third, to proceed, no longer by paths indirect but straight, to home.” FirstsShowsHomeFacesTurnsLanguageGrowsPathJourneySeaColorBaseballThirdsGreenDeeperSpeedFamiliarIslandsFriendlyShoreFoeTheftIndirectHomecomingReefsGuileSkimmingFriendly Faces Book:A Great and Glorious Game: Baseball Writings of A.

“If I'm going to continue to be any kind of spiritual teacher, I've got to go deeper myself. And so for me, [I am] preserving long periods of solitude, silence, prayer, journaling, study, writing.
