The small things in life /

Strange when you see an idea and you think; why didn´t I think of that?
It´s not really all that strange, because it works like this:

Say you live in a city with all the facilities you need around you. When you
go to the toilet you may not remember if you have flushed or not. When
you coock dinner, you don´t really pay much attention to what kind of
tools you use. Of course, you see the things around you, but you don´t see
them in the way you would if it was the first time you saw them. They are a
part of your everyday life, and your everyday life is not that interesting really..

That´s where you stopped beeing curious and started stopping the ideas to
flow freely.

The secret about the design that make you feel "ahh, why didn´t I think of
that",is the secret of curiousness and time. That you take your time to let
things just happen, and let your eyes see what they see. When you force
ideas or look at only the things you think inspires you, you yourself wont
be able to see all the details around you, because your to focused on what
you want to find. And the things you want tofind, is not the things you
thought you wanted to find in the first place.

So, be easy, be curios and wake up everyday with new eyes. Don´t take your
environment for granted.

Just a thought /
