I'm all in favor of 100 percent effort, of course. But effort without creativity, without vision, is likely to be relatively fruitless. And the thing we don't always realize is that creative visions don't come from an artist or inventor suddenly thinking of something new that has never existed before. Often, those ideas come from old ideas, boring ideas, that are connected by an artist, inventor or entrepreneur in new way."}
