The seemingly impossible is possible.
You must practise constantly.

On August 12, 1982, I took a 10 x 7 1/8 inch National Blank Book Company composition book from the supply closet of my then employer, Vignelli Associates. From that moment, I have never been without one. I always have one at my desk. I take one with me to every meeting. I am now in the middle of Notebook #85. Michael Bierut
- Ну напиши про свой глубокий внутренний мир.
- Не буду.
- Что так? Боишься что он у тебя недостаточно глубокий?
- Боюсь что глубокий внутренний мир как запретный лес. Никогда не знаешь каких чудищ ты там встретишь и нет гарантии что выйдешь назад.
- Я смотрю самооценка у тебя приподнялась раз сравниваешь свой глубокий внутренний мир с запретным лесом. Чудища опять же. Ну пройдись хотя бы по окраине этого леса и напиши о впечатлениях. Никого не встретишь, так хоть прогуляешься.

“ Over the years, I interviewed these volunteers, asked them to complete diaries, questionnaires and intelligence tests, and invited them to participate in experiments. The findings have revealed that although unlucky people have almost no insight into the real causes of their good and bad luck, their thoughts and behaviour are responsible for much of their fortune. Take the case of chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not. I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs, whereas the lucky people took just seconds. Why? Because the second page of the newspaper contained the message: “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than 2in high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
For fun, I placed a second large message halfway through the newspaper: “Stop counting. Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win £250.” Again, the unlucky people missed the opportunity because they were still too busy looking for photographs.

“ Maybe this is because, for me, home is the most important thing in life. I always felt that that’s the place where you should spend most of your time and, therefore, you want it to be beautiful. Because my head is so full of ideas and creating things, I have to get up in the morning in a perfect house. Often, when you walk into an artist’s studio, it’s the biggest mess. Sometimes, you can’t even see the artwork that’s supposed to be there. But with me, because my surroundings are so mixed up in my head, everything in the house has to be very organized, very neat, and suited to my taste.

“ The key to solving an architectural problem is to know the problem well. You have studied all the aspects.You know the basic needs. And then you wake up in the morning and start to work. All the time, you have to keep this intuition in your mind, allowing it to penetrate into the pragmatics. It’s very key that the intuition can penetrate to the pragmatics and that they work together.Then you have a creative solution. If you try to do it with intuition alone, it becomes just a mess.If you just try to do it with the pragmatics alone, just the facts, that doesn’t lead anywhere either.That is, unfortunately, how a lot of buildings are done and why they are so raw and nasty.They don’t have any energy, or passion, or any inspiration in them. But it’s hard to get the developers to agree to allow inspiration to happen.They just want to get it done fast and easy.

До недавнего времени никто не подозревал о существовании так называемых - пандовых овцах*. Тем временем они существуют, едят и смотрят на вас. Пандовая овца отличается доброжелательным и спокойным нравом. Однако остается загадкой, что она думает на самом деле о происходящем вокруг и о вас лично. Может быть она что-то такое пишет в свой тайный блог.
* Все права на использование и распространение термина “пандовая овца” принадлежат городской овце.

“ There are three phases in design at BMW that we go through. We call the first phase Understanding – which means that, as a first step, you have to understand clearly what you want to do.
The next phase is Believing. This means that you have selected the one design from all the various choices with no real objective proof that it is right, but your knowledge-based intuition tells you that you must proceed with that solution, and only that one.
The third and final phase is called Seeing – which means you have really got to look at your chosen model and refine it, to take care of the little fine-grain issues, to make sure any blemishes are gone so that the final product is perfect.
Each one of these phases takes us a year. It takes us a year to understand what needs to be done, a year to believe that this is the right choice, and a year to look at it and make sure it comes out perfect. Around the car industry there is often talk about reducing “time to market.”
This can be done in lots of ways, but it’s very difficult to tell somebody to take 20 percent out of their time of understanding. Or speed up their believing. Or can you see faster? It is a human timescale that we’re working with, and that’s why, for a process as complicated as a car, it takes about a year to go through each one of the three steps. If you try to skip a stage, my experience says you will be doomed to repeat it later, when it really gets expensive!
