“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 in its greatest joys.”- Daniel Pink
