2. Watch the video
3. Add a dash of zest, brilliance, risk, imagination, colour, whimsy, joy – your pick.

And all through the lens of a search engine.

Great Work Quote #62: “Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, moving at different speeds.”
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
~ Clive James
At last! This explains why having some fun and not taking things so seriously are so much more that an indulgence.
Is not laughter a way of speeding up wisdom?
Here’s how I’d figure it.
Humour comes from an unexpected twist, something arriving that is different from what you thought was coming down the road.
Good Work is all about sticking to that road, walking that path. There’s not a whole lot of fun and laughter in doing just Good Work.
Great Work is about stepping into new possibilities, seeing new options.
Your sense of humour can speed that along for you. Not to mention, make it more fun
By the way – Clive James has written one of the funniest autobiographies I’ve ever read, Unreliable Memoirs. If you can find it, pick it up.
