I got this from Jasmine’s blog:

First one that’s already accomplished was reading - although for free at Borders. It was a book about the top creative minds in Singapore in the Ad industry and what inspires them, what their ethos is. And I’m glad to know that they don’t live by some obscure, beyond mortal minds philosophy. They just keep their minds open. It really isn’t true that we close our minds to things. Most of the time we’re quite receptive to new ideas, technologies, attitudes and mindsets. "Receptive" being the operative word here. Without being fed information or told of a new perspective, most of us are quite happy just not knowing or not having an opinion. The way to open our minds is to continually reach out to the world and be inspired by anything and everything. Imagine if we get so used to hooking unrelated things up and creating new ideas, seeing things in a totally whacked way, "creativity" will come in an instant! Brainstorm sessions will be a thing of the past because it happens over lunch, in meetings, while waiting for a bus, all the time! What a brilliant and exciting place the world would be to live in. Think about it - ideas that excite you - perpetually!

It made me think about how malcolm and Ivan and me talk. We’re always…always…talking about new things and new ways of doing things and new way of approaching ideas(even if we’re not going to do all of them)…

I’m not saying we’re like very innovative or something but…Hey! We’re pretty cool aren’t we? Hoo Hoo! (what kinda sound is that? Hoo hoo!)

Haha
