You could wait around until the CEO rubber stamps your ideas. Your book can gather dust for years until an agent discovers your writing and you can while away a decade in a cubicle wondering when Saatchi and Saatchi will call.

Or you can simply show the world what you’re made of and pick yourself.

I love the story Ji Lee tells in the video below about how he decided to put some joy back into his work, by doing a project he had creative control over.

Proof that doing accomplishes what wishing never can.
