Imperative #One
Look around. I travelled to a meeting by train recently and walked through a commuter tunnel. The remarkable thing for me was the age spectrum of those around me: the modern urban workforce. They were largely spread across the age range: unlike, arguably, our schools where many of the workforce tend to be concertina’d into a 45-55 year range.
And, in Japan, they may well be doing more than just travelling to work. A recent story on the SMH tells of a young woman who has written a number of novels while travelling: all written onto her mobile phone and originally uploaded in instalments to the net, thence by subscription to the mobiles of thousands of young teenage readers. The hardback edition topped 400,00 sales !!

I was reminded to day of just how powerful some of the content from things like the ‘Pay Attention’ video can be.
