Sagmeister at TED

October 6th, 2009 by Andre

Smooth Zarathustra of Design Stefan Sagmeister held a brilliant note at TED recently. It’s about his sabbaticals and funny and informative. This is the second fantastic video I saw today (actually the third, but the third one does not belong here).

    i love his accent :) a vorarlberger who made it to new york (1)

    and bali definitely is a good choice in my opinion.. and sabbaticals seem to be a good thing as well. although, i would not calculate the business revenue of this year as he did. anyhow, i liked the comparison between his first and second sabbatical – in the first he wanted to have no plans, which ended up that he became his “own intern” doing things that someone else suggests. in the second sabb. he made a plan – and thats what you need if you want to do things, that you cannot do for some reasons during a normal year.

    (1)(thats what the austrian ex-vice-chancellor Gorbach dreamed of, when he said: “The world in Vorarlberg is too small for me” – http://tinyurl.com/ya9ctzy)
