Daniel H. Pink - From the Books category:
I tend to pull nuggets out of many books - rather than having a handful of books that serve as guiding lights. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Creativity category:
The right brain is finally being taken seriously. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Design category:
Carry a notebook and write down examples of good and poor design. After a week, you'll begin to realize that nearly everything is the product of a design decision. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Drawing category:
The teacher showed us how to see proportions, relationships, light and shadow, negative space, and space between space - something I never noticed before! In one week, I went from not knowing how to draw to sketching a detailed portrait. It literally changed the way I see things... (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Fantasy category:
Down there - in the land of hadrons, quarks, and Schrodinger's cat - things get freaky. The cool rationality of Isaac Newton gives way to the bizarre unpredictability of Lewis Carroll. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Finishing category:
Experimentalists never know when their work is finished. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Freedom category:
The ultimate freedom for creative groups is the freedom to experiment with new ideas. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Future category:
- A Whole New Mind...
The future belongs to... creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning-makers. These people... will now reap society's richest rewards and share its greatest joys. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Greatness category:
Greatness and nearsightedness are incompatible. Meaningful achievement depends on lifting one's sights and pushing toward the horizon. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Innovation category:
Abstract thinking leads to greater creativity... That means if we care about innovation we need to be more abstract... But in our businesses and our lives, we often do the opposite. We intensify our focus rather than widen our view. We draw closer rather than step back. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Knowledge category:
In the past thirty years we have learned more about the workings of the human brain than in all of previous history. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Money category:
Money can extinguish intrinsic motivation, diminish performance, crush creativity, encourage unethical behavior, foster short-term thinking, and become addictive. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Play category:
-to Oprah...
One aspect of play is the importance of laughter, which has physiological and psychological benefits. Did you know that there are thousands of laughter clubs around the world? People get together and laugh for no reason at all! (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Possessions category:
Tens of millions of people have iPods, whereas eight years ago, they didn't know they were missing them. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Power category:
Harness the power of peers. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Problems category:
Create some psychological space between you and your project by imagining you're doing it for someone else or contemplating what advice you'd give to another person in your predicament. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Profession category:
Financial firms are sending their back-office jobs overseas. But what do fine artists do? They create something new, unexpected, and delightful that changes the world. MFA abilities are harder to outsource and more important in an abundant world. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Questions category:
Whenever I meet someone new, I always ask the same question... 'So, what do you do?' (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Questions category:
It's a question we all ask ourselves. What have we done lately? It rattles us each birthday. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Recognition category:
I think the more important task for a young person than developing a personal brand is figuring out what she's great at, what she loves to do, and how she can use that to leave an imprint in the world. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Renewal category:
It's nothing short of a whole new brain... animated by a different form of thinking and a new approach to life. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Rewards category:
The misuse of extrinsic rewards, so common in business, impedes creativity, stifles personal satisfaction and turns play into work. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Satisfaction category:
People get satisfaction from living for a cause that's greater than themselves. They want to leave an imprint. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Strategy category:
What do artists do? Artists give people something they didn't know they were missing: a dance, a piece of music, a painting, a piece of sculpture. Catering to that need is the best business strategy. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Symphony category:
Symphony is the ability to see the big picture, connect the dots, combine disparate things into something new. Visual artists in particular are good at seeing how the pieces come together. I experienced this myself by trying to learn to draw. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Technology category:
In the same way that machines have replaced our bodies in certain kinds of jobs, software is replacing our left brains by doing sequential, logical work... I actually think this shift toward right-brain abilities has the potential to make us both better off and better in a deeper sense. (Daniel H. Pink)
Daniel H. Pink - From the Words category:
We have in our head something called story grammar. We see the world as a series of episodes rather than logical propositions... In our serious society, storytelling is seen as being soft. But people process the world through story. (Daniel H. Pink)
