10. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So
throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

can only connect them looking backwards. So you
have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future. You have to trust in something —
your gut, desOny, life, karma, whatever. "
Steve Jobs

IDEO - Tim Brown
33. T-Shaped Person
“The neo-generalist defies easy
classification. They are tricksters
who traverse multiple domains,
living between categories and
labels. Encompassing rather than
rejecting, the neo-generalist is both
specialist and generalist. A restless
multidisciplinarian who is forever
learning. They bring together
diverse people, synthesising ideas
and practice, addressing the big
issues that confront us in order to
shape a better future.”
