what are you in the world?

Whether you love Chopin’s mazurkas, Escher’s trompe-d’oille designs or Hilton’s sex tape, your role in shaping this world is one of three:

1. You’re pro-active, resourceful, passionate and participate, in your own way, in shaping the world within and without you.
2. You’re reactive, curious and have a stable-ish job – content to watch the world go by and be fascinated.
3. You’re very much into your bubble, with little care/curiosity about anything else except your job/friends/family – don’t have a clear idea about what/why/how of the world.

Do you even know how to listen to the world?
