Finding Creative Solutions
August 14, 2008
One thought haunts me.
And it deals with a seemingly mundane subject.
Why did it take us so long to put wheels and a pull-handle on luggage?
Now that we have it, it seems obvious.
Easy to maneuver.
No weight to carry.
No awkward steering (as there was when we dragged a suitcase on four wheels by a leash).
It seems like such a simple modification.
And it is.
Yet, there was a time when nobody had thought about it.
Simply put, the human mind had not “gone there before”
So, for years we either carried our heavy luggage or dragged it along.
Why care at all about this?
Because there may be similar discoveries to be made in your business or work life.
Things that would immensely simplify your operations or bring you a better bottom line.
The trick is to keep an open mind and be curious.
ASK YOURSELF: What new discovery or revolutionary shortcut is before my eyes right now?
