[su_note]Many creative people are finding that creativity doesn’t grow in abundance, it grows from scarcity – the more Lego bricks you have doesn’t mean you’re going to be more creative; you can be very creative with very few Lego bricks.

[su_note]When Ole Kirk Christiansen founded Lego in 1932, the toy company had been on a winning streak until 1998. For more than sixty unbelievable years, Lego had never been in red.
