Stealing is okay. Especially when looking for inspiration. If you only steal things that speak to your soul, then your theft becomes authentic. Do you agree?

Talking is lying. Because language is a limited and insufficient resource to describe reality. Many of the words we use are little lies of language, especially when describing groups of people.

The curse of knowledge. Once we know something—say, the melody of a song—we find it hard to imagine not knowing it. Our knowledge has “cursed” us, making it hard to communicate what we know to others. This translates to the workplace, where only concrete words and stories can undo the curse.

Here’s to a productive month ahead! Feel free to send any feedback to hello@pr.co.
