About the common sense.

"One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development is common sense".

In The Element, Ken Robinson.

Creativity and Politics.

“The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”

Abraham Lincoln, 1862.

Sir Paul Smith.

"The thing is with my business and Pauline, it was never meeting around a table saying we've got to have a business. I was just a shop assistant and then she said, ' Oh, you've got a lot of ideas, why don't you try and open a shop?' So we opened a little shop and then we still did other jobs to support it, so it's just been this gentle life that has just always progressed a bit. I think freedom is probably the most privileged thing I've got because if I want to do anything I don't have to ask nobody, because I am the main shareholder. So I suppose the main emotions I feel are freedom, privilege and happiness. I'm definitely happy. I mean amazingly happy - every day."

“If the history of innovation has taught us anything at all it’s that two guys in a garage will beat a large corporation to a good ideia ninety-nine times out of a hundred.”
