New literature, I am hooked

I have come to realize that blogging is really how I wanted to get a better grasp on current affairs and personal opinions. I am particularly fond of NussBaum. The articles on rethinking our values, going back to the basics and seeing the current crisis as an opportunity to redefine and improve, sound like music to my ears. Starting from scratch is something that I am seldom opposed to do.

These views reawake the hopeful optimist in me.

It is just so refreshing to learn about conferences focused on innovation and change. It is exhilarating to think about these conferences as beehives where the smartest professionals get together. Ready to ask the right questions as oppose to just wait for a series of instructions from a manual. I attribute my excitement to the discovery that there are others who have the drive to excel and innovate.

I think I can see the “why” of this assignment.

Innovation cannot be without the existence of a problem. In my opinion, solving problems is all about understanding them from every angle. Getting the insight. How well do we understand a problem? Do we think we understand it or are we just seeing through our own glass? Is it impossible to truly see all the layers of a problem? This last question could be the reason why so many solutions fail.
