Oh, that’s awesome dear!
I’m making a helicopter train.
When you were 5…
The world was limitless!

Hey boss! Had a few ideas! Social media…
Well, we’ve discussed it before and we think it’s too risky…
But when you were 25…
You couldn’t find anyone to listen to your ideas.

…and then I’m gonna build a robot that makes cookies in its mouth AND cleans your room… and wouldn’t it be cool if the cookies glowed in the dark and then when you want a snack at night you don’t
have to turn on the lights..
Those are great ideas, honey!
When you were 7…
You saw so many possible soluLons.

I saw this really cool project management soNware that seems easier…
Oh no, they aren’t going to go for that idea. We have a relaLonship with the other vendor.
Oh. Ok.
But when you were 27…
You ran into endless obstacles.

Kids, how would YOU solve world hunger?
Have everybody mail seeds to poor
countries!
We could make a food
printer!
Solar powered tractors!
When you were 10…
Ideas just popped into your head with ease.

What if we did this instead….?
We can’t do that!
It’s too difficult, and we’re busy
enough I don’t really get it…
But when you were 30…
You started being afraid of sharing.

I have an idea for our
project, let’s build a
website for students to connect with each other…
Cool idea, we could post events and
how we feel…
When you were 20…
You dared to dream dreams.

Yes, do you have any ideas that would make a lot of
money?
We would like to put more of an emphasis on innovaLon
now… I’m just not creaLve. And, anyway, I don’t
have Lme to think about this.
But when you were 40…
You forgot how to dream things up.

What happened to all the possibili/es, and how do
we get them back?
