STEPS TOWARDS CREATIVITY

“Bicycle” – a new mechanical transport component was first introduced in a country. At the exhibition of the new creation, a man approached the inventor of the bicycle and on observing its crude, simple architecture mocked, “Even an inexperienced mechanical professional can manufacture it. Silly! I can design this simple vehicle. What greatness is there in exposing such simple thing?” The inventor without losing temperance said softly, “Sir, you are right. My invention is simple one, but, you don’t forget that the initiative, motive, imagination and hard-work which kindled its creation aren’t simple!”
