Symphony

In the symphonym Mr. Pink argues that Symphony is on the move to become a big factor in competitive buisness. He breaks this big catagory down into desciptions of what kind of people will be especially good at sypathy: The boundry crosser, the inventor, and the metaphor maker. (He also makes a point of negitive space, which both my plj and wrp logos have)

The boundry crosser is especially good at connecting unrelated ideas. This person also has deep expetice in more than one area. This person doesn't conform to 2 faced questions, or steriotypes. When I read this, this sounded like an almost perfect description of myself, so I find myself drawn extreamly to this catagory

The inventor can take two seemingly non-connective feilds and connect them. these people have large bursts of activity in their right-brains when they have AHA! moments when they descover how to cure cancer

The Metaphor maker can easily relate two things together, like dogs and ice cream. These people are important because they can translate confusing and alein situations into something more comfortable and well known.

Other than the inventor, I really feel suprisingly good at those other catagories. I always seem to create metaphors to help me understand things, and I am good at some unrelated subjects (like football and math). I will have to work on the whole connecting part, but other than that i'm doin ok

For my profile part of the chapter I decided to try the follow the links part

for my start off, I typed in lego into google, and here are the links i followed http://www.brillig.com/lego/sphere/ http://www.ericharshbarger.org/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?llc_3.jpg+lego/images/legolandca http://www.ericharshbarger.org/index.html http://www.orangeexposure.com/public/ http://pulp.orangephotography.com/blog/ http://pulp.orangephotography.com/blog/archives/projects/

Most of these links that I followed were clicked on randomly, and yet they still taught me a lesson; life is more connected than once thought. I visited a lego site, and that eventually led me to a pro photography blog. Two of my dreams for future careers have always been to be a lego designer and, more realisticly, a pro photogripher. This small activity has shown me that I can do both. If I wanted to, Maybe I could make certain senarios out of legos and sell them off as art (well, if so called "modern artists" can throw some paint on a pallet and sell it for a living, why cant I take pictures of legos?).

In summary, there are a lot of new professions out there just waiting to be descovered. With a little bit of symphony, anyone can strike it rich and find these new professions, like lego photography and pro sledding (My neighbor wants to create a new pro sledding league and become the first pro sledder.)
