Being Imaginative II

The imagination has always captured me. It has caused me to stay up many nights in a state of blissful wonderment and creativity. I have written of its beauty to create here before.

When I came across a quote this morning by Napoleon Bonaparte on Peanut Butter Bound, I was again reminded of its import in government, business, music, art, dance, etc. Create! Innovate!

"Imagination," Napoleon wrote, "governs the world."



Imagine!

Being Intimate at Work

"Intimacy is at the heart of competence. It has to do with understanding, with believing, and with practice. It has to do with relationship to one's work."

-- Max DePree

Intimacy is a major element of responsibility and creativity. If we are intimate with our work, how much more will we be with our co-workers? How much better will our team be? How much better will our products be? How much more innovation will there be?
