Brains vs. Signs

I’ve been through a lot in the past week: got laid off on my birthday, had a semi-meltdown about it, then reconciled with the CEO today.

But that’s not what I’m getting at.

I’m getting at the fact that all the thinking and intelligence in the world can be superseded in an instant by a sign. And that’s just what I got today.

As the CEO walked into the coffee shop and we picked up our hipster-ccinos, he ran into someone he knew, who was with someone that person knew, who happened to be Om Malik.

We shook hands—it was brief and courteous—but it was a sign.

At high levels, more better things get done. And revealed.

I am to be a blogger. A real one this time.
