Zen Navigation

This is a text I copied from a fantastic product of Joke.

ZEN NAVIGATION:

A methodology with a tremendous propensity to get lost during a hike from A to B. Zen Navigation simply consists of finding something that looks as if it knows where it is going, and following it. The results are often more surprising than successful, but its usually worth using for the sake of the few occasions when it is both.
Sometimes Zen Navigation is referred to as "doing scientific research," where A is a state of mind considered as being pre-PhD, and B is a (usually a different) state of mind, known as post- PhD. Your time spent in state C, somewhere inbetween A and B, is usually referred to as "being a nobody."
