Jam 3: Meraki — The How of What
Building anything — a weekend hobby project, an email, an art project or a company — starts with a ‘what’ and quickly moves to a ‘how’.
This transition from the what to the how is where the magic happens. It’s the zone that history books are made of; the zone of signature moves — the zone for your meraki.
What? Writing a blog.
How? Ankur Warikoo’s brevity OR an artist’s abstraction.
What? Travelling.
How? Travel like a tourist and do places OR feel the place the way locals do. (Airbnb reference)
What? Building a Drone-Data science startup.
How? WeDoSky way or our peer’s way
One could read meraki as:
meraki — (Greek) to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work
OR
mera-ki — (Punjabi) what have I got to do with this?
How are you going to write the HOW of your life’s WHAT?
Well, she’s walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that’s running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That’s all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.
