Reposting Proverbs to Myself from a Record on a Certain Day in 2011 (2/2)

* Just do it. Adapt. Then overcome.


* If there are two items and you can’t pick one, take both.


* Planning is important. 

But the plan itself is nothing.

After the battle has started, no plan survives intact.

: Focus on the process rather than the plan itself. It must be applied evenly and continuously throughout the project.


* To get what you want, you first have to know what you want.


* People shape spaces, and those spaces resemble people. 

Likewise, a space changes the person, and the person grows closer to the space.


* The reason humans gained higher intelligence is

because they think cyclically, slowly, and contemplatively.

Intelligence doesn’t arise from size or speed alone.

Going forward, the Internet too, rather than relying on coarse force like size/speed,

will grow smarter and more productive through another method —

imitating the brain.




* Media: a space that transmits information and knowledge to the world with its own editorial direction and distinct color.


* Content platform: 

    A space that can hold many voices.

    A platform may house media, but the platform itself must not carry a specific color the way media does.


* Otaku are consumptive; Mania are productive. 

Otaku act alone, Mania act together.
