On a feeling of importance
“We all need somebody to look at us. We can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. The first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public… The second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. They are the tireless hosts of...

I see the banker sitting totally naked in a chaise longue at the apex of the 45-degree angle,...
Abraham Maslow’s 8 Ways to Self-Actualize 1. Experience things fully, vividly, selflessly. Throw yourself into the experiencing of something: concentrate on it fully, let it totally absorb you. 2. Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth): Make the growth choice a dozen times a day. 3. Let the...

Sometimes
I hate this city. I hate that cabbies don’t seem to understand that by entering their cars I’m putting my life into their hands; I hate that in some twisted way they thing it’s okay to insult or argue with me and bring me close to tears when I refuse to go a roundabout way to my destination. I hate that they won’t turn on the air conditioning and when they claim that the...

That is the playbook: Find your heritage, your traditional values, your long commitment to craft and quality—or make up those attributes if you have to—and then retire the marketing campaign of shirtless models sipping Cristal in the back of a G4, and replace that with an austere, calligraphy typeface of your brand logo and then, below that, something like, “Family Owned Since the Reign of...
