A Philosophy Lesson

A piece of art becomes beautiful not just because of what it is, but also because of what it is not. This article, based on Lao Tzu's proverb “To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, subtract things every day,” explores ways to add beauty to the corporate and economic world through the art of subtraction. May gives us examples of corporate companies that have applied this idea of subtraction-- Apple, Instagram, Toyota-- and shows us how they changed the world. 

I feel it is an interesting, thought provoking article that shows gives one important lesson-- that less is more, and that "removing just the right things in just the right way," makes good things happen.
