2014 at IDEO Singapore: Gathering outside the office door on Chinese New Year to roll the pineapple! 🍍
Happy Friday and Happy Chinese New Year! I used to love these celebrations when I lived in Singapore. I delighted in digging into what the animal of the year meant and enjoying the food and festivities at the local hawker centers (next level food courts). At the office, we'd gather outside the door for the traditional "rolling the pineapple" across the threshold, which was meant to welcome prosperity to the year ahead.
This is the year of the snake, which is considered a year of trusting your instincts and shedding what doesn't serve in favor of new growth. Sounds like our year, eh? (Side note: the standard greeting is Gong Xi Fa Cai - here's what it actually means.🤣)
I'd normally link to a new blog post, but I'm craving hearing from you. What's on your mind in terms of the liminal zone or getting unstuck? Reply and let me know (or do so here anonymously)—I might write about your question next week.
