Versions of reality

Seth Godin

A sea slug sees far more colors than you do, and you probably see more than a profoundly color-blind person. Who’s right? We each carry our own version of reality, our own story about what happened, what’s around us and how things work.

If you seek to communicate, speaking Esperanto in Nashville isn’t going to help very much–you do better assuming, as others do, that English is

The reason I say this is there’s not enough talk about this. What I see being continually pushed is a focus on processes, systems, models and tools – and while they are very important, they are far more about delivering consistency or amplification of something special rather than the actual creation of it.
