The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical _43_ include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used _44_ forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged $100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees stadium.Mr. Gignac denies _45_ his customers for fools: “They know what theyre getting. They appreciate the fact that theyre taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.”Some _46_ customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir.

He _48_ to discuss his profit margins: “Its actually quite a lot of effort putting them togetherbut yet, garbage is free.”Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed _49_ with people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London.III.

Write down all the ideas/words _55_ with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the _56_ to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original _57_; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.No limits! Imagine that normal limitations dont _58_. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new _59_. If your goal is to learn to ski, _60_, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now_61_ his to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a _62_ point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the _63_ in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their _64_.
