14. Philosophy Barkley Every idea has an expiration date. Pour water into a glass and it takes the shape of a glass. Pour it into a pitcher and it takes the shape of the pitcher. Water can take any form, but it ﾕ s still water.Truly great ideas work this way. They are fluid. They seamlessly flow from one channel to another. When great ideas happen, the message and the medium become one. Now, that's what we call refreshing.
