Being right keeps you in place, being wrong forces you to explore.

KENGO KUMA  Oribe Tea House Pavilion, Japan  2005

A temporary, mobile tea room. Corrugated plastic boards 5mm thick are arrayed at 65mm intervals and fixed together using banding bands. Once the bands are unfastened, the tea room returns to an assembly of cheap elements, making it easy to move. The entire form resembles an irregularly-shaped cocoon, and is an homage to Furuta Oribe’s deformed tea ceremony bowl.

Grit Is More Important Than Talent

“Very often when we talk about the skill of ‘productivity’ what we are really talking about is ‘self-control.’”

It turns out that sheer grit and perseverance has more to do with remarkable achievement than talent alone.  Do you believe that grit is a trait we are born with or can it be developed over time?
