A Whole New Mind

I and Tatyana decided to do some fun stuff over the weekend despite the fact that Tatyana ’s bike got stolen

Inspired by Daniel Pink, the author of “A Whole New Mind” we said “hey, let’s try to draw ourselves … i.e. self-portrait.

The reason why we decided to draw ourselves is because a) it it a lot of fun (as it turned out), and; b) this is all about symphonic thinking.
“Symphony is an ability to put together pieces”. In other words, it allows one to synthesize or see a big picture rather than analyze i.e. break a big picture into small pieces. This is what came out after 45 minutes of hard work.

Daniel says that entrepreneurs and inventors have long relied on this ability. I tend to agree because entrepreneurs are good at seeing a big picture as opposed to other people who are L-Thinking Brainers and who are good at breaking the big picture into small pieces (analysis/paralysis).

Some people said that Tatyana’s drawing is more professional though …. “Damn it!”

Tatyana also said that I was too generous with my eyes, which I agree with, because in reality my eyes are a bit more of the Asian style. So the way they look on the image is totally deceiving … well may be not totally but they are more narrow.

Anyways, it is tons of fun! Try it and you may also love it!
