Innovations occur when…
My lovely friend Rosie brought me a get well gift, a book titled ‘The Next Big Thing’, full of blank white paper just waiting to be filled with doodle creativity, hopes dreams and aspirations. The pages on which I’m doing exactly that carry the most inspirational quotes and comments and this one I just had to share:
“For ages, the earth was thought to be centre of the solar system, simply because Claudius Ptolemy said so. Prior to Columbus, everyone thought the world was flat, and that a ship would sail off the edge if it went too far. For hundreds of years there was no such thing as left shoes and right shoes-just shoes. Innovations occur whenever someone like you challenges the way things have always been done.”
I hope this statement stimulates your creativity, thank you Rosie for reigniting mine!
