"What the patterns of an artist’s progress show are the human capacity to find meaning and to make lasting work not by planning it but by remaining open to the possibilities they see inside and around themselves. This argues against forcing predetermined expectations and goals onto our experience of life and for an alert way of being, open to noticing and responding to the future as it emerges.
...
prescribed rules can’t give individuals, companies, or countries the alertness they need to evolve and adapt.
...
In an age of uncertainty and change, being able to sense what to do in advance of reliable prediction can make businesses or nonprofits smarter, more inventive, and more relevant. The intuition for change and the capacity to pursue it energetically is what markets applauded in Steve Jobs, a man who wasn’t an artist but thought like one.
...
When it comes to the future, it matters more to invigorate the search than to try to determine the outcome.
...
Allowing people at work to think like artists takes more than colorful walls, toys, murals, and open spaces. To have insights that are relevant to life requires having a life, one rich in experiences and the time to internalize them."
Este é o tipo de mensagem que encontro no livro de Margaret Heffernan, “Uncharted”, e que tanto aprecio. Perante a incerteza, deixar o engenho humano dar a volta através da "arte". As mentes eficientistas agarram-se às leis do século XX, (a tríade do tempo da troika) ou ao pré-histórico socialismo, mas a União Europeia também não é melhor ao propor abordagens homogéneas independentemente do estado de desenvolvimento de cada país e da sua cultura.
Só esta liberdade e criatividade pode dar a volta a previsões pessimistas.
