Chance, Humor, And Self-Importance

Stowe Boyd "Internationally recognized authority on social tools and their impact on business and society; editor, /Message; contributing editor, Conferenza. Formerly president of Corante" writes:

"As we become ever more aware of the importance of creativity to business success, we should embrace spontaneity, humor, and the serendipitous opportunity to do something new and different. Not only is it good for your health, something profoundly great may arise from it.

"I often respond to the question 'who do you work for?' by saying that I am unemployable. Behind the wisecrack is a deepseated aversion to self-important business tyros ruling in Cubeland, who manage to suck all the life out of life at work... Basically, it boils down to a belief in playfulness, and an openness to the unusual and random. If you think you have all the answers, you won't be interested in running through the fields with a bunch of wild kids, searching for new questions."

You go, Stowe!
