I keep my kindergarten diploma in my office because it reminds me that a key part of life is "playing well with others in the sandbox."
In the sandbox, anything can happen. Experiments, questioning, evaluating, risk-taking, or invention. It is the space where we can embody a question, a "What If."
The thing with answering questions, it's always better when someone wants to come alongside and answer those questions with us. Perhaps they're just as interested as you?
If that's the case, it's best to pursue questions with others who are just as interested as but totally different than you. Why?
Because difference is a competitive advantage - examining the same problem from multiple points of view likely leads to a more effective solution.
That sounds simple enough. But what makes playing the sandbox with others so difficult?
You are required to show your work, share the process, and share the solution.
