11. “The future belongs to a very different kind of
person with a very different kind of mind—
creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers,
and meaning makers.
These people—artists, inventors, designers,
storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture
thinkers—will now reap society’s richest rewards
and share its greatest joys.”
~Daniel Pink,AWhole New Mind
