    Regina Brett (2012). “Be the Miracle: 50 Lessons for Making the Impossible Possible”, p.4, Hachette UK
  • I don't have an office. I sit in a cubicle with everybody else. That's partly so no one can ask for an office, which in a fast-growing company isn't practical. But it's also so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how people are feeling.

    Exercise   Long   One Day  
    Joshua Foer (2011). “Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything”, p.61, Penguin

But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing?

Do the unexpected. Find the others.

There was a, every morning at 10:30 I'd come into work and I'd go into this cubicle that had a little upright piano and fake white cork bricks on the wall, and a little slate that came out of the wall that you could actually write on. And a door that locked from the outside. Every day from 10 to 6, we'd go in there and pretend that we were 13 year old girls and write these songs. That was the gig.
