Regardless of your passion or your current situation in life, one of the best things you can do is actively seek out opportunities to put yourself in someone else’s position. That change in perspective, the opportunity to challenge your previous learnings and introduce a whole new set of data, will forever change how you interact and engage with others.

The simplest analogy I can think of is the relationship between cyclists, and motorists. Ask either one how they feel about the other and you’ll instantly feel their blood start to boil. But ask a group of cyclists who are also drivers and you’ll be in a very different conversation.

Gaining perspective is about more than just better understanding and appreciating how other variables interact with each other. Perspective is about how you interpret and process information. It’s about how you form connections between data points, and we each have a unique way of connecting and relating to information.

If WRG were a scientific journal, we would have an entirely different approach to this subject, but as creatives our staff and contributors around the world have each taken their interpretation of our theme and delivered unique and compelling stories within it.

You’ll notice over the course of this and the next issue, WRG will be continuing to explore the culture of creativity and highlighting the do’ers who are leading the charge forward.

On the eve of our 11th anniversary, I couldn’t be more excited to share this with you.

p.s. The title was borrowed from a Marcus Aurelis quote, the subtitle I had a bit more creative input ;).

Cheers,
