Mind Drill...

Do you want good ideas? Do you want to spark more good ideas in others? Relax. Play music. Break bread with a colleague. Read a poem. Open yourself to eccentricity. Listen to someone else's story. Laugh. Resist to tyranny of drones. Seek catharsis. Get vulnerable. Do something risky. Be a rebel, with self-confidence.

-Robert Barker, Business Week
