Seth Godin a while ago (September 12, 2010) asked the question “Why jazz is more interesting than bowling” in his blog. A strange but a very interesting question. Before you sign off of this blog, I want you to risk 40 seconds of your life to read Seth’s blog in its entirety, and then ask yourself a simple question that I pose below.
Why jazz is more interesting than bowling
Bowling is all about one number: the final score. And great bowlers come whisker-close to hitting the perfect score regularly. Not enough dimensions for me to be fascinated by, and few people pay money to attend bowling matches.
Jazz is practiced over a thousand or perhaps a million dimensions. It's non-linear and non-predictable, and most of all, it's never perfect.
And yet...
when we get to work, most of us choose to bowl.
Interesting little blog isn’t it? Now you are probably asking yourself, “Why did Rick include this in a risk blog?” The answer is that I wanted to ask you; “when you go to work as a risk manager, are you bowling or jazzing?”
Here is the link to the blog which I have pasted below in its entirety. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/09/why-jazz-is-more-interesting-than-bowling.html
