새로운 것은 언제나 신나게!!!

미국의 한 조사기관에서 가장 스트레스를 많이 받는 직업을 조사한 적이 있는데.. 예상밖으로 "프로야구 감독"이 영예(?)의 1위를 차지 하였다. 시시각각으로 변화하는 상황에서 지속적인 생각을 해야 되고 성적에 따라 댓가를 받는 프로야구 감독이야말로 어떤 직업보다 스트레스가 많은 것으로 나타난 것 같다.

신규 사업도 그러한 것 같다.

새로운 아이디어를 지속적으로 창출하고, 그에 따르는 사업을 진행하는 것은 육체적 노동만큼이나 어려운 일이다.

slideshare.net  에 소개된 Idea on Idea는 이러한 새로운 아이디어에 관련된 어록을 소개하고 있다.


몇개의 내용을 소개하면..

- 나는 오늘 아침 아주 훌륭한 아이디어를 생각했다. 그러나,, 나는 이 아이디어가 싫다.
- 이 것은 아주 적절한 아이디어다. 그러나,, 적절한 때는 아니다.
- 사람을 죽일 수는 있겠지만.. 아이디어를 죽일 수는 없다.
등이 있는데. 그 중에서도 가장 공감이 가는 내용은.. 마지막 장에 있는 내용이다.

“New ideas fail because they are new and unknown, old ideas fail because they are old and too well known(새로운 아이디어는 너무 새롭고 아무도 알지 못하기때문에 실패하고, 구태의연한 아이디어는 모든 사람들이 너무 잘 알고.. 오래된 내용이라 실패한다.”   Ricardo Sosa
