You say that like it’s a bad thing.

But being childlike in our approach to life can be very very good, you know. As long as what’s meant by childlike is that sense of wonder, the openness to new ideas, desire for having fun and for constructive play, and that general joy of being alive that a happy, well adjusted child exhibits.

I’ve seen our founder when he’s like that. It’s a state I aspire to myself. We all should, in my view.

Seek your own answers. They are out there to be found.

hehe!

actually, this was a non-photoshop job! Done with a piece of white sticky-backed paper and a sharpie! (Probably explains why the A is’t an e...)

Anyway, it was done in good fun...so don’t take it seriously, folks!

I like the first part of Larry’s comments...being able to think like a child (where no rules exist) can also be very refreshing...case in point...I was at a McDonalds with my 2 year old little brother...I made him look outside (at an imaginary bird), and snuck a cookie. I tried it again--he wasn’t fooled...but he did pick up the bag of cookies, covering the opening...and then looked outside for that bird again...outwitted by a two year old....certainly teaches you to think outside the box, doesn’t it? (primarily because 2 year-olds have no box to think inside...)
