Its really tough to bring vision to the table and at the same time have the patience to listen and really figure out if its deep cultural or veneer thin behavioural.<BR/><BR/>I just read a book yesterday that I have to share with you.

You've come to take the piss and now you're feeling bad about it and trying to *butter* me up :)<BR/><BR/>OK just kidding, and thanks for the compliment. I like nothing better than getting out there. Every time I get to mingle and meet with real people I'm ashamed how many decisions I make each day based on intuition and experience. I need to get out more and after Chinese New Year I've got some plans to visit some communities that I know you're going to love hearing about.

If only more were as brave as you - but then many in advertising do all they can to separate themselves from the masses even though there job is to understand and resonate with them.<BR/><BR/>Bit like when Bono talks about the poor eh!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781423013658665692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402480621391937537.post-36593037290203864522008-01-27T00:08:00.000+00:002008-01-27T00:08:00.000+00:00So you're giving blood so you can impregnate the C...So you're giving blood so you can impregnate the Chinese with the Frith "Huggy Bear" virus ... and you're buying female Adidas gear so you can impregnate some hot young babe in the future.<BR/><BR/> I know you're a planner, but this is ridiculous :)Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781423013658665692noreply@blogger.com
