I was reading John Windsor's blog about Tough Times Calling for More Innovation - and he is right. We really do need to push creativity forward. After watching the shuttle launch from my backyard (one of the privileges of living here in Cocoa Beach) I could only wonder how this 30 year-old technology is once again making way into space. That is a scary thought, until you realize that the program was created out of a "tough time" and a point where Americans were in fear and in need of big hope.

"The worst thing to do is to get locked up by fear and go into hibernation. If you pull in your horns waiting for things to get better they won’t. They’re going to get better but only for those companies who can but fear out of their mind and move forward aggressively." - John Windsor

I agree - this should be a time again where we step up and give America a big hope. I think this is one of the reasons Obama won the election, but is he enough. I think we need an even bigger monumental change of sorts.

Perhaps even this blogs name should be Cycle of Fear into Ideas.
