“Take Four Blocks and Make Something Interesting.”

“Take four toy blocks and make something interesting.” This is something Seth Godin asks people to do when he meets them. 

He Says; “People hate this.”

If you were a kid, this would be no problem. As adults there is no right answer. We’re scared. We don’t want to look childish. We ask; “What’s interesting about toy blocks?” 

Music is the same. Harder, maybe. There are twenty-six letters in a set of toy blocks but only twelve notes.   

Take four of those notes. Make something interesting.   

You can’t do it if you try. 

You can do it if you play.
