Simply observing the scurry of the Modern Man reveals an unorganized Olympic-like competition featuring the following events: 10. Climbing over others to get to the top 9. Throwing babies out with the bath water 8. Running behind 7. Pounding the pavement…

  • A book I read a few years back on the subject of developing one's creative thinking explained the technique of combining categories that don't usually mix.
