Innovation through Inspiration
What is inspiration? Where does it come from? There are no easy answers to these questions, no formulas to follow or guidelines to go by. The source of inspiration could be anywhere, anytime from any one in anyway, and the destination of inspiration-triggered innovation should be the right thing in right time in right place.
Let me give you a live example. We are working on a cool project with an already inspired goal, yet whose solution has been painfully searching for a couple of months. Suddenly we found the simplest and also the most beautiful solution. Is that cool? Should we had worked even harder to come up with an inferior and plain solution, it would lead us to go to a wrong direction, hence problem unsolved.
In high-tech industry, if you are a bootstrapping startup without deep pockets, to succeed, or at least to survive, you have to be really innovative, which means you have to come up with products and/or services based innovative technology and/or business model, that no one else in the world, both in industry and in academia. has ever had. Nowhere, in research journals, in technical conferences, in textbooks, has the solution except in your mind. I am proud to brag that we are really good at it.
Innovation through Inspiration, whether disruptive one or non-disruptive one, we really love it. So working smarter instead of working harder
