“I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information, than wonder. In noise, rather than silence. How do we do that? In our business, yours and mine, how do we encourage reflection?”
Saying the most with the least
A wise old owl lived in an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that old bird?
Here’s a problem we don’t think about enough: Even as more professions look like Rockefeller’s – thought jobs that require quiet time to think a problem through – we’re stuck in the old world where a good employee is expected to labor, visibly and without interruption.
Silence always gives in to let noise take its place. That is the constant dance that they share.
