Expression 1 and Expression 9

Expression 1 and Expression 9 compare two ways of operating in the world. Here is how the styles meet, in work and in the ordinary run of a day.

How Expression 1 and 9 get along

1 builds for 1's own benefit; 9 builds for everyone. The contrast is stark, 1's approach is focused, personal, and unapologetically self-interested, while 9's is diffuse, principled, and oriented toward something beyond the individual. The connection works when 1 can stop seeing 9's generosity as naivety, and 9 can stop seeing 1's focus as smallness.
