98. Creativity is just
connecting things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
When you ask creative people how they did
something, they feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had and
SYNTHESIZEnew things.
99. An idea is nothing
more or less than
a new combination
of old elements.

new combinations
depends largely on the
ability to see

101. They must know how to link apparently
unconnected elements to create something new.
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age
must understand the connection between diverse,
and seemingly separate disciplines.

124. Dear Moon,
I admire you so much. Your complete lack of water is
something that I can only aspire to. My humidity is rarely
lower than 5%. You force all visitors to adapt to you, just
like I do. My animals grow large ears, sleep under rocks,
and travel at night just to survive. Your barren and open
landscape is a true inspiration, especially the Lunar Maria –
once thought to be a sea, like my own Great Sand Sea.
Keep it dry and barren!
Yours,
The Sahara Desert
125. Dear Meteorite,
I want you to know that we were
meant to be together. I know that
you and I are from the same place,
although I was more successful on
crashing into Earth. But my love for
you is burning, literally, I’m on fire!
I’m entering the atmosphere and
I’m slowly burning up.

142. You’re landing on a base on the surface of
the moon in a space craft.
Your craft malfunctions, crashing to the moon!
You are a three day walk from the base.
You’ll decide which items from the craft are:
essential, possibly helpful, or useless.
Be creative.
