"I Link, Therefore I Am"
Rene Descartes, the famous 17th century philosopher, mathematician, and physicist is best known for having distilled his world view down to five words: "I think, therefore I am."
Very pithy of him.
And so, in honor of "The Father of Western Philosophy," I am pleased to announce the launching of the First Annual Cartesian Spinoff Tagline Contest -- one that YOU could easily win with just a few minutes of creative effort.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Read the list of taglines below and let us know WHO you think that tagline should be attributed to.
If you want your contest replies to be private, email your submissions to info@ideachampions.com. Otherwise, just post a comment below.
WHO (or what organization) SHOULD BE USING THE FOLLOWING TAGLINES?
1. "I sink therefore I am."
2. "I stink therefore I am."
3. "I drink, therefore I am."
4. "I wink, therefore I am."
5. "I link, therefore I am."
6. "I ink, therefore I am."
7. "I slink, therefore I am."
8. "I rink, therefore I am."
9. "I zinc, therefore I am."
10. "I blink, therefore I am."
11. "I kink, therefore I am."
12. "I clink, therefore I am."
13. "I pink, therefore I am."
14. "I tink, therefore I am."
15. "I plink, therefore I am."
16. "I shrink, therefore I am."
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
1. Most Obvious
2. Least Obvious
3. Hugely Creative
4. Funniest
Winners will be given a choice of four prizes:
Free the Genie,
Awake at the Wheel,
It's AHAppening,
Ten Commandments of Innovating.
Accompanying explanations for each answer are allowable, but must not exceed 20 words per tagline. Contest ends July 4th.
Decision of the judges (Mitch Ditkoff and his 16-year old son, Jesse) are final.
Winners (and their answers) will be announced in July.

JJ:
Yes, indeed! "Being is much more than just thinking." You got it. That being said, we are BOTH thinking beings and feeling beings (head and heart). Both are needed at the right time. If you want to see my BEING BLOG, check out www.ideachampions.com/heart. And I love your corellary to the Descartes quote: "I think/meditate/act/pray and enjoy/rejoice, therefore I am." Well said!
