Synergy

Cafe latte, cocktail, mixed essential oil, symphony, multi-function printer, camera phone, and James Bond's OMEGA; people combine different substances, so we taste more, surprise more, and live more conveniently. Some combinations not only created new things, flavors, or styles, but also generated new effects of our life. Energy of new generations are sometimes more powerful than previous ones.

Substances mix, senses mix, functions mix, needs mix, and life styles mix. If there's a formula of mixture we're looking for, it might be 1+1>2, a×b=∞. We all search for the synergy to make our life better.

Berlin's new Central Station connects different transportation systems. RVs with bike attachment extend the way we move. Shopping malls change the habits of shopping. Information exchanged through different ways flattens the world.

As rivers conflux because of the gravity, sometimes there's a key in combination; such as trend, experience, innovation, technology, fun; but the rules will never be the key. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. While we taste the marvelous flavor, enjoy the riding in the mountain, buy all necessaries of life in one hour, we create our own new life.

Working in the office can be more fun and more comfortable. Keep trying beyond efficiency, convention and rules, find your new office culture, style, environment, and synergy to make 1/3 of life better.
