A CURIOUS MIND
ORIGINALITY ISN’T JUST
ABOUT INNOVATION
It’s about bringing together unrelated things for the first time.
Seeing the possibilities that others don’t.
That takes a willingness to set aside the tried and
tested solutions and venture into uncharted territory.
It’s the mark of a truly curious mind.
