Be Inspired by People

The business world promotes that inspiration begets invention. And discipline makes it pay. Innovation paints a dull picture of a lone, sleep-deprived genius crunching numbers in a modest garage. Yes, you can invent by yourself, but you can't innovate that way. You must be inspired. The great people in history don't get innovative by locking themselves in a closed room, they get inspired by connecting with the outside world filled with interesting things, and most importantly interesting people. People are the secret to inspiration. You are inspired by the chemistry of human element. A world that includes the human element, along with the other elements, is a very different world indeed. Suddenly, chemistry is put to work solving human problems. Relationships are built between aspirations and commitments. And the energy released from human endurance fuels a boundless spirit that could make God the Creator proud. Your world that welcomes change is about to meet the element of change: People. Pay attention to them daily.

hello topresson,

glad to know that you have a blog. I'm discovering that it is an interesting means to get linked -- sometimes to people you never met!
