An expression in Dutch that is very negative. The Dutch are known for being very pessimistic towords life.
The whole 'thats not going to work' attitude.
He explained that he danced through the movie and the whole process was such a joy. The whole process being a flow.
Renzo Rosso's Creative Rhetoric (Youtube)
Youtube Video: The Blank Sheet Process interviews Renzo Rosso's. They want to know what makes him tick, how they began, what they have achieved and how they have tackled the daily challenge of the blank sheet of paper. Renzo's talks about his spark of inspiration. Renzo was the founder of 'Diesel Jeans'. He talks about when he made his first pair of jeans at the age of 16. The beginning for him was a very big change. 'The best must be the next'. Very few new companies fail to be consistent over a long amount of time. Diesel being different. Renzo talks about having a strong working team 'I am a lucky man who can drive my team'. The creative advertising of diesel was a key result of Diesels success.
