I once read what was reportedly a true story of an executive touring an Information Technology office with the head of that office. Everyone they came upon was busily typing or writing; save one - staring off into space.
- Executive: "What is he doing?";
- IT head: "Thinking.";
- Executive: "Why isn't he working?"
Man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought.
There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor. Victor Hugo
And there is also incubation during which one is not even absorbed in thought; but from which come many breakthroughs. Rhb
Many a thorny problem is solved during a nap; over a cup of coffee or tea; playing a guitar or otherwise making music; or just sitting. Rhb
