DELTA HEAVY - ‘Get By’ (official video) by Ian Robertson
Brace yourself — Ian Robertson is about to systematically crush all of your favorite childhood toys. But destruction isn’t the outcome of this stop motion — it’s repurposing at its finest.

Dismissing an idea is so easy because it doesn’t involve any work. You can scoff at it. You can ignore it. You can puff some smoke at it. That’s easy. The hard thing to do is protect it, think about it, let it marinate, explore it, riff on it, and try it. The right idea could start out life as the wrong idea.
So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work. Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it.
Fantastic post from Jason Fried over at 37signals. I’ve always believed that the number one trait a designer should have is thoughtfulness. Don’t have a knee jerk reaction to things. Be considered, hear all sides, take a minute (or five) to formulate an opinion.
