Let it go, let it go! Can't hold it back any more.

“Change will not come if we

wait for some other person

or some other time. We are

the ones we’ve been waiting

for. We are the change that

we seek.” - US President, Barack Obama

"Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.“

TAKE ACTION!

Take creative risks

We cannot be afraid to fail. If failure is never an option,

you can never innovate. - Matthew Power
