Innovation and Dumb Questions


Innovation is a low-odds business—and luck sure helps. If you believe that success does owe a lot to luck, and that luck in turn owes a lot to getting in the way of unexpected opportunities, you need not throw up your hands in despair.

One way to finding creative solutions is by asking questions. Better yet, ask dumb questions.

"How come computer commands all come from keyboards?"

Somebody asked that one first; hence,

the mouse.

You'll be surprised at the insights you can get to.
