It is not so often that we come across inspirational words that actually inspire and do not sound like a desperation attempt to maintain false calmness before announcing bankruptcy the very next morning in a crisis time like now. Fortunately, however infrequent it may occur, such small pockets of light do sprout out in our what appears to be the current state of greyness.
“The Power of Less
We do some of our best work when we’re constrained: by budgets, by headcount, by technology, by the economy. These are the times when bureaucracy and waste die by necessity. What’s left are ideas, and the muscle to make them real.”
I’m not a complete romanticist and have serious concerns about how much bureaucracy and corruption are actually being killed by necessity in the recent and current bailout situations, but time doesn’t stop for us because people make mistakes. We’ve got to keep our sight of the sunny side of our spirit so we can walk out of darkness.
* The passage was taken from Web 2.0 Expo’s site, which is not involved in any bailouts, as far as I know.
