### 3.4.9 DON'T BE FOOLISH

Niels Bohr once said, "There are some things that are so serious you have to laugh at them." He makes a good point. Some people are so closely married to their ideas that they put them up on a pedestal. It's difficult, however, to be objective if you have a lot of ego tied up in your idea.

Occasionally, let your "stupid monitor" down, play the fool, and see what crazy ideas you can come up with. Who knows, there may even be a job for you at the nearest royal domain.

Recognise when or others are conforming or putting down the fool. Otherwise, you may be setting up a "groupthink" situation.

May the farce be with you.
