If the journey is pleasant, fullfilling and memorable.Then the ending is worth it. You should always remember the purpose for your travels.

The swing you refer to can be viewed as "polarity management". Corporate innovation is a swing between the polarity of standardization and innovation. Innovation is not a problem to solve, it's a polarity to manage. You can't focus all your energies…

About Me:

Harry’s passions are sailing, photography and trekking.
He can be reached at hvardis@kennesaw.edu
Harry believes that most medium to large enterprises have not understood that “in-novation” starts from within and expands outside the corporate box. So, he created hybrid courses to expand MBA and Executive MBA students’ leadership abilities through productive thinking tools and processes.
He is a Colleague and a leader at the Creative Problem Solving Institute and he is the founder and president of Creative Focus, Inc. a market research consultancy in Atlanta.
As of 2006 he is the Director of the Center for Business Innovation and Creativity at The Coles College of business at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Most importantly, he considers the ThinkX community among his best friends.

I was watching videos on YouTube a moment ago when I saw an advertisment for a free role-playing game with an interesting title...

Gladiatus: Hero of Rome

Hmm. Why does that title make me see a legion of Roman women sighing and swooning...?

Hee.

Later, dude!

I love your improv suggestion! Indeed, I imagine all sorts of fun situations flowing out from anyone wearing the T-shirt. Especially around alcohol...
The gutter-mind associations alone are worth their weight in "hee-hee" gold!
I'm honestly more interested in the deeper message, the one about taking chances with more than just your tonsils...but hey!

Your shirt says so many different things at once -- which is why I love it.
Ahh, the fun times ahead thanks to a simple T-shirt. *Sigh*

Later!

I scooted over to your website...and you can expect a new order for one of your "Dare To Suck Big" T-shirts. I think it might become my new favorite shirt!

All the best,
