"I discovered that being in the right place at the right time is actually all about being in the right state of mind. Lucky people increase their odds of chance encounters or experiences by interacting with a large number of people. Extroversion pays opportunity and insight rewards. Chance opportunities are a numbers game. The more people and perspectives in your sphere of reference, the more likely good insights and opportunities will combine." Wiseman author of The luck factor (from Little Bets by Peter Sims)
I firmly believe this quote. A few months ago I met a person who is world class designer. He is very passionate about what he does and often tries to communicate his vision to the rest of us non-designers.
I was working on a design for how to display a particular type of data. I played around with the concept but could not come up with a brilliant way of doing it.
One Saturday evening I sat in a park with my friend and we worked on the problem. We were so into it that the group of several people we were in felt ignored for an hour. In the end a brilliant solution was found.
Today's question is:
"Are you exposing yourself to different people and perspectives?"
