The edge...where creation lives

In life there are basically two kinds of people:

1. People who play it safe. 

2. People who take risks.

Neither one is better or worse than the other. They both simply 'are.' What is true, though, is that one group welcomes with open arms, their daily wrestling match with trepidation and fearlessness. It's these individuals that expand the boundaries of our limitations, change the landscape of the human condition and push the human race forward. 

This can only happen at one place though...the edge. A place that demands our attention as we look at how the world around us is changing, or in desperate need of change.

One just has to look at the changing US economy, the explosion of web 2.0, and socio-economic protest movements to realize that our traditional ways of living and working are increasingly broken. In an ever-changing world, seemingly growing more complex by the day, what is the path to innovation? Paraphrasing Leonardo de Vinci - we need to embrace simplicity in order to drive a sophisticated approach to problem solving in the 21st century. 

Two simple words and some profound thoughts.

Ice-T succinctly captures the essence of... the edge, where creation lives.
