How do you develop talent?

Look, test, try. New ideas, different systems, fresh application options or unexplored markets. You will find it easier than you think. Innovation is often confused with invention. Not every new idea is original. Most of the time it is renewal: an existing idea with a new application. The mobile phone was not an original idea. It was the application of an old idea to a different place, namely all places. The portable computer was no new idea. It was the application of an old idea to another place, namely all places. The popup was not a new idea. It was the application of an old idea in a temporary place. Innovation has to do with looking, trying and linking. Seeing and feeling combinations that were never made before, of adjustments, applications, change and improvement.

"The nice thing about being a pessimist is that you are always right or pleasantly surprised." - George Will.
