In this competitive world, we need "something" that's going to ensure we'll always be a step and a half ahead of everyone else. Seeing that thought is the start of it all, this miracle "something" is creative thinking.
Creativity breeds longevity, it's never about what we have done, it's all about what we continue to do. We're only as great as our last accomplishment, so if we want to not only stay relevant but be the primary talk of the town as well, we must possess a mindset of consistently outdoing ourselves.
Never become satisfied, because satisfaction is the first step towards stagnation. Always allow your last accomplishment, to be inspiration and motivation for your next.
