Dymphna Lanjuran's Key Ideas from Look
by Christian Madsbjerg

To know a person, you must understand them within their world.

Get away from your screens, turn off your notifications, go out into the wild of reality and look around. Let go of all filters - clichés, conventions, color corrections, whatever they may be. Try to pay attention to the simple act of seeing.

"To the things itself."

What will appear before you?

Pay attention to what is funny, strange or odd. Sacrifice your own comfort so that you can go out and take a look around.

Perception does not happen just inside us; we change what we see to reflect who and where we are in the world.

The best observers are thoughtful and rarely rush to conclusions. They are also highly organised and are driven not by their opinions, but by what they see.

Work like a bird.

The falcon spend most of its days in a meditative preparations for brief and intense period of activity.

Instead of using your time to chase after myths about how creativity works, do some direct observations.

Immerse yourself in the context of what you hope to understand.

Everything you need to know is already out there waiting for you to see it.

It will take time but you'll soon find it is worth it.

Leave your calendar free and unscheduled. Listen for the social silence. Wait for what matters the most in the world : a moment of insight.

After an insight, everything else is possible. Everything, really.
