“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ”

“Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ” -Pablo Picasso

For some reason, this quote really spoke to me. I thought it was really inspirational, and quite interesting, especially considering who this quote is coming from. I can see this rule reflected in quite a few of Picasso’s pieces!
However, I don’t think that this quote applies solely to art. I think that this quote could actually be applied in quite a few places.

It is a fairly simple quote, but the meaning behind it is powerful. Take risks. Look past the surface, think outside the box. Let your imagination run wild.
If people didn’t follow Picasso’s advice, our world would definitely not be where it is today. People might not have been brave enough to try and invent a lot of the technology that we use today. And I think that we should try to apply this mentality to our everyday life. Stop dismissing your ideas, and waving them off. It’s not as obvious to others as it is to you!

Don’t be afraid to speak up and share your opinions with the world! Take that first step towards innovation and creativity.
