Use the water

October 14, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized No Comments

All kinds of gems floating my way this morning. Here’s one from Matt Webb at Interconnected:

“The trick’s to find the middleground. Don’t go with the flow, passively, but garden it. The flow is part of the self. Who was I talking to who told me how fish swim? They use the water around themselves, the vortices and turbulence, they use the properties of the water to propel themselves. They get more than 100% mechanical efficiency because they don’t swim through, they just swim.”
