Pivots & Passion - Stories to Change the World

"The hallmark of originality is rejecting the default and exploring whether a better option exists. (...) The starting point is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We're driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we've seen it before.
