"Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life"
-- Paola Antonelli
(Check out her column in Seed Magazine here)
Inspired by Ms. Antonelli & Ideo, this post is a re-Statement of AIS's M/V->ision:
Inspired Moments -> {ideas & guesses} -> DESIGN -> {Practical Everyday Action} -> Lasting Changes
Design makes ideas understandable & serviceable. Design helps realize the value of revolutionary ideas. Design bridges ideas & action.
Cheers to all those unProven & Passionate designERs of our time!

defined identity: what kind of music you like?
Your favourite genre? Your favourite type? Often I see people trying to figure out the answers; often I see other people who say "no favourite, I listen to everything" or "too many".
As much as we would like to give a clear-cut answer to define our taste and our identity, the fact is most of us connect to totally different music genres in different context/mood...
We need different kind of music to suit different mood/experience in life...even self-proclaimed "techno-haters" like me may fall in love with techno music after meeting some new people & sharing a with them a new story...
Yes you may deny what I just said, you may continue to tell people you only listen to Jazz or Rock or New-age or Classical (just to be in line with your defined identity)...but if I'm allowed to give any advice, Go Try Something Else...be open to every possibility...listen to different people's stories...
Simple categorization is for music stores, not an individual with an unique personality like you...

...high school acquaintance...boyz II men...history teacher...
Years after graduation, without any kind of contact, a high school acquaintance suddenly appeared in my dream several weeks ago...
...when contemplating the meaning & practice of prayers on the way to work...My Father's Eyes...a song by Boyz II Men...suddenly rang in my head...the last time I listened to this song was nearly 10 years ago (and it never entered my top 20 favourite list)...
...somehow recalled what a history teacher in junior high (a guy who went back to teach high school students because he couldn't stand the hypocrasy in business...) once said, there are many things & many people in life, that you met and you forgot...you can't recall & list them down...or even be sure if they existed...until something somehow trigger some hidden corner of your memory...
What triggered my memory in these strange days? I have no idea.
All I know, I believe in this more than ever: At any given moment, you may just leave a trace and make a change in another person's life...and you may never be aware of it...so just be the best you can be...put your heart into everything you do...and no matter how people & the environment changes...you can always be proud of yourself...
Yes, you can. You should.

A Few Words from Coach Wooden
a few words from Coach John Wooden
John Wooden
Happiness begins where selfishness ends.
Discipline yourself and others won't need to.
Surround yourself with strong opinionated people.
Tell the truth. That way you don't need to remember a story.
Don't let making a living prevent you from having a life.
Do not permit what you cannot do to interfere with what you can do.
Be slow to criticize and quick to commend.
Give credit to others, but accept blame yourself.
The time to make friends is before you need them.
Treat all people with dignity and respect.
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
I'd rather have a player that makes the team great, than a great player.
Make every day your masterpiece.
John Robert Wooden is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (Class of 1961) and a coach (Class of 1973). He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories; only Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman have since been so honored. He is widely regarded as the greatest college coach in history and his 10 NCAA National Championships while at UCLA are unmatched.

Empower & Trust - Jacqueline Novogratz's example
In this TED talk she told a story of, instead of just having charities shipping and distributing mosquito nets to regions inflicted by malaria in Africa, Empowering local African entrepreneurs to produce the nets more cheaply...
Then again, Empower local entrepreneurs to take care of the distribution.
How do you sell mosquito nets to the local?
They found a young local entrepreneur and it's how she did it: she marketed the nets by telling her local fellows the nets make their house beautiful & comfortable...and the nets show they care about their children...and then, came last the rationale we care so much: malaria. It worked.
You've got to Trust them.

Empower & Trust - local ideas conference
Attended a local TED-like conference. Met people who were there for business opportunities as well as people who really are utilizing their passion & talents to make the world better. To be fair, they both made this conference possible.
The most enjoyable parts were those Q&A sessions. Thought-provoking questions & ideas & discussion. After all, Who the hell around you will have the mood to explore or debate these big ideas (or things beyond self interest) in everyday's hustle?
In one way or another during the conference, the key to sustainable changes emerge, Empower & Trust. It's no longer about us helping them, being super-smart heroes or super-generous organizations. Empower people, Trust them, they'll show you they can make the changes for themselves and for our earth.
afterthought:
With the launch of TEDx, it'll be easier and cheaper to organize similar gatherings (of 10 or 10 thousand people) around the world...world changers meet to share & explore & co-create ideas...to inspire and motivate each other...to set foundations for world-changing movements...
It'll be a lot of fun, if we take action to make them happen.

Improvising Tango Argentino
Argentine Tango is all about improvisation. Well, at least traditionally so.
Improvisation means no fixed rules & no fixed steps; on the other hand, you can't simply move your body on the dance floor and say you're improvising Tango...You've got to get the right "feel".
So how do we "learn" improvisation?
1) pick up existing steps;
2) watch people dance;
3) try & experiment & practice.
You can't miss any of the above. And the reason we do all these, is to (through different dimensions) capture the "feel" of Argentine Tango...so we can play it out when improvising...
Just another example of intangibles captured in tangible form.
Update:
May it also serve as a reminder: don't get too obsessed with the tangible form itself.
What we are after, after all, is the intangibles.

What I see in Michael Lewis & Japanese Dramas...
They are examples of successful story telling.
Michael Lewis tells "inside stories". Michael Lewis makes things simple. Michael Lewis shows us the least expected reality.
Japanese Dramas? They make you laugh, they make you cry, or they make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Our Leadership (or Heroes) Complex...
We grew up being taught to idolize heroes and demonize villains...and to admire great leaders...
What's common among heroes, villains, & leaders?
They are individuals that we choose to perceive as "another breed of creature"...
When time changes, our minds haven't. We choose to use the same concept to understand a brand new world.
When we realize the influence from individual heroes/villains/leaders is just one of the reasons we take collective action (When New Yorkers became kind & nice to strangers on the street after 9/11, was it because of the then Mayor or President?);
when co-creation revolutionizes our era;
when we finally realize the power of these idolized individuals is overrated...
We broaden the definition of "heroes/leaders" to include everybody. We just don't want to admit, sometimes the heroes, the leaders, these "different type of" individuals are not the main reasons we can create a different tomorrow...
It's us, the creative & innovative nobody's, the "average followers", that make their dreams reality. And we don't need to, just because of this, crown ourselves with those historically glorious words like "heroes" or "leaders"...
Time has changed. It's no longer about leading or following. It's about people with the same passion getting together to make changes happen. Nobody leads, nobody follows. Towards the same direction, we push, we hang on to, take care of, watch out for each other...
I don't mean to be arrogant, but if you're waiting for another individual hero or leader to make a real difference; if you still think it's the villains on the press that created the largest mess in our world...I'm sorry, but your view belongs to last century.

when does A Change begin? an example.
Having too many choices is not a blessing.
Having too many choices makes life more difficult & unhappy.
We all knew this; we all experienced it.
We just didn't put this into words and speak it out loud.
It's especially disrespectful & ungrateful to say this in a world with so many underpriviledged fellow human beings...
Until Malcolm Gladwell mentioned it in his book;
until Barry Schwartz mentioned it in his TED talk.
We read it, we watched it, we nodded, we identified with it.
Suddenly we are able to speak it out loud;
Suddenly we become the idea evangelists.
Eventually we all realize we should do something about it.
That's when a change's about to begin...

End of Nazis Hunt: a story & many questions...
A story about a French couple who dedicated their lives to bring former Nazis to justice...
"I knew I had to go wherever the people were suffering," Mrs Klarsfeld said. "Sure, it could be dangerous. But if you really want to do something with your life, you have to do more than just speak."
in fact I was not quite sure if those individuals who happened to be Nazis during that historical period should bear all the responsibilities, or deserve in jail...in their retirement age...before their lives end...until...
He didn't hate them.
"After all, they were people like us. We spoke with some of them. They like animals, we like animals, for example."
"But we never met anyone who had changed, never met a former Nazi who showed remorse. They were only interested in their own situation and that of their family...
Is it the people they slaughtered or their lack of penitence? I really really am not quite sure...
"We tried to do quite a lot. We acted very often illegally, but our illegality is nothing compared with the people we had in front of us."
Justice achieved through illegal action...where on earth does the problem lie? isn't it sad?

what makes a good day? what makes a bad day?
what makes you take this question so seriously?
it could be just a slice of sunshine in your coffee,
it could be the antelopes across the prairie at dawn
it could be a long trail over the ice land
it could be an expresso of living spirits in the subway train...
All we need to do is simply close our eyes and really Feel The Air...
...at any given moment, we may just find our voice...

"Maturity" does not abandon Infinity
maturity does not abandon the memories of infinity.
in our juvenile quest to grasp our lives & the world,
we had our first glimpse of infinity;
in our struggle to fit in the disillusioned society,
the euphoria & memories often dumped like teenage idealism.
it's not maturity.
maturity has infinity captured in a mortal story
the way we were taught what 'green' color is by looking at the trees
the way novelists reveal truths of life in made-up stories
continues the passionate pursuit & enthusiastic idealism,
albeit in a more concrete, down-to-earth manner.

a big picturer on her way home...
i walked through a facet of life
feeling the cold, smooth currents of time
the rich the poor, the locals the migrants
the fresh the chic, the rugged the sloppy
the sensual fragrance, the cynical odor
the finest boutiques, the darkest alleys...
a tiny facet of the universe.
i couldn't frown, curse, exalt, rejoice, or cry
as I saw myself in the map of life
and the map is always in my mind...

An old song by Elton John
in broken timbre echoing weird tones
somehow it felt just right & nice
a fresh experience for over-time hours of a non-paid volunteer
somehow you don't need perfect tone to connect to the souls of music
"Make Each Day Your Masterpiece", thus spoke Coach Wooden.
And often, the imperfections make uniqueness.

blog to change the world?
Read Seth Godin's 3000th post (in a row); see what change he's made to our world.
isn't this an inspiration?
Start a blog, revive your blog, start another blog. Make meaning.
We too, can make a difference.
People like to think "Change the World" statements only belong to politicians or people like Bill Gates or Ralph Nader or Seth Godin or Jacqueline Novogratz, or 7-year-old kids.
Damned the convenient prejudice.
Having the guts to make a "Change the World" statement (at least to yourself) shows you are ready to commit. Or ready to push yourself to do so.
Damned the cowards & snobs.
At least we dare to try.
Don't balk,ignore the naysayers,push forward,persevere.

Physics formulas & stereotypes ("Convenient Prejudice")...
We are all prejudiced in some ways...one of the reasons is, we dehumanize fellow human beings into categories...Asians/Africans, artists/engineers, christians/muslims, smart/stupid...
The way we look at 'them' (people we don't really know), is just like formulas we learnt in junior high physics, with lots of simplifying assumptions....
It's a sad thing, but it's not too hard to find someone who's never talked to a Muslim in her/his life to declare "they are all terrorists".
...When we moved on to high school, to college, to graduate school...when we dived deeper into the world of Physics...our teachers gradually took out those assumptions and we got closer to reality...
In getting to know fellow human beings (both those around us & those we've never met)...have we ever got the chance to dive deeper into their world...? Who's responsible to help us take out those simplifying assumptions?

Michael Lewis' moral incentives...
A simple yet enlightening illustration of Iceland's fin. mess, by Michael Lewis:
You have a dog, and I have a cat. We agree that they are each worth a billion dollars. You sell me the dog for a billion, and I sell you the cat for a billion. Now we are no longer pet owners, but Icelandic banks, with a billion dollars in new assets.
His first bestseller Liar's Poker was a good read. Though When I read about his leaving Saloman Brothers because he felt there was something wrong about the business (my understanding), I was kind of skeptical. It's the Homo Economicus assumption, you know.
Until I realized the weight of Moral Incentive in our decision making (thanks to Barry Schwartz & TED). Moral incentive, our desire to do something that may go against our material interest but in line with moral values/virtues, just to make ourselves feel good.
Moral Incentive it is. Moral incentive it has always been.
The question: is your emphasis on "Moral", or "Incentive"?

the beauty of telling a story...
"...In most cases, it is virtually impossible to grasp a truth in its original form and depict it accurately..." --- Haruki Murakami
The beauty of telling a story, instead of straight presentation/lecture, is you never know who's going to learn what from it.
That's also why many people don't like telling stories.
A reader of Einstein's biography might only remember that he was a violinist. Who knows?
Who cares?
so what if people got different, unexpected takeaways from your story? what if they "don't get your point"? what if they don't think the way you want 'em to?
But dude, why should we act according to your plan?
It's about new ideas & possibilities, not brainwashing.

which side stands Mr. Murakami?
"Always on the side of the egg", Murakami's speech, a great one, courtesy of a fellow blogger. Highlights below:
"…that by telling skillful lies - which is to say, by making up fictions that appear to be true - the novelist can bring a truth out to a new location and shine a new light on it. In most cases, it is virtually impossible to grasp a truth in its original form and depict it accurately. This is why we try to grab its tail by luring the truth from its hiding place, transferring it to a fictional location, and replacing it with a fictional form…"
"Take a moment to think about this. Each of us possesses a tangible, living soul. The System has no such thing. We must not allow The System to exploit us. We must not allow The System to take on a life of its own. The System did not make us: We made The System"
For whom it may concern: you don't need to be a fan of Rage Against The Machine to realize The System Sucks.
Thank you, Mr.Murakami.

keep scribbling on the bullets...
give it a shot, even if you are not ready.
you never are, you never will.
the moment you look back,it's already gone.
The arsenal, the ammunition, all swallowed by gloomy shadow.
and we have to move on.
beautiful moments easily crash and burn...flash into ashes...eventually gone with
our mortal existence...
Even if you gotta bite the bullet, even if you got only 0.28 seconds to scribble on it...
Give it a shot. Fire it into unknown eternity.
