In our nearly fifty years of design practice, we have learned a couple of things still worth knowing. This: When good work comes your way, share it. Then, as the need arises, you will not lack for the support of your colleagues. And this: There is nothing more fragile than a new idea. Receiving it with a silence is enough to kill it. Yet, as there is great value in a good idea, do the utmost to bring it to life—especially if it has made your teeth ache. That, it turns out, is a positive symptom.
