Secrets of Innovation
"Innovation to me requires two important skills: 1) the desire to challenge conventional wisdom, create a better world, and trust in one's own abilities, and 2) persistence and hard work to make things happen." – Christian Cermelli, P.E. |
"It's important to recognize that not everything has been done. [Also don't] get obsessed about financial rewards, but rather embrace the opportunity to do something new, because it is a fascinating process. You'll get exposure to things you'd never thought you'd have to know and will get to meet a lot of fascinating people. Whether you succeed or fail, the life experience is really very unique." – John Hillman, P.E., S.E. |
"A lot of people focus on what they want to be rather than what they want to do. I've always looked for interesting things to do. I thrive on new experiences and new ideas. I'm always looking for interesting problems to solve." – Corinna Lathan, P.E. |
"It's important to stay current of recent developments. Innovation is really achieved at the intersection of knowledge and creativity." – Mike Simard, P.E. |
