History has shown that the best inventions are usually the result of simple thinking. Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably used a Post-it at least once in your life. Those handy little sticky notes actually started as a failed adhesive at 3M - the glue wasn't sticky enough. 3M's Arthur Fry began using the glue to add removable sticky notes to his reports, and fellow employees quickly started requesting them for their own use. There was also another anecdotal story that went around some years ago that NASA the US Space Agency whose annual budget surpasses many nations' spent millions of dollars trying to develop a pen that could work in zero gravity in outer space. Whilst the NASA crackerjacks were busy cracking their heads trying to figure out the solution, the Russians simply gave their cosmonauts the ordinary lead pencil that you could purchase in any stationery shops! Now whether there is a shred of truth in this story, I will leave you to figure it out but I wanted to get my point across that sometimes in life or at work, a solution for a seemingly complex issue would simply just require a simple thinking.
