A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play

By Steven

Over the years, I have realized that hiring is the hardest and most important task for kasina. We are an innovations firm, and our people are our product. It has been hard for us to decipher the key attributes of a successful kasina employee. But over time, I've realized that this quote by the French writer and poet Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand captures it best:

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."

We believe that work has to be fun, but that fun can't compromise excellence.
