TEXT 01
SILLY QUESTIONS, BRILLIANT ANSWERS
Several years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the chairman of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea.
He stopped the meeting and asked everyone present what would happen if Sony removed the recording function and speaker and sold
headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was crazy. Still Ibuka kept thinking about his idea and worked at
refining it. The result of course, turned out to be the wildly successful Sony Walkman.
Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making
waffles for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron. Later he tried it and the result looked
something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies, he was
literally laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather discouraged, Bowerman persevered and went on to
form his own company, making Nike athletic shoes.
Sometimes good ideas grow out of frustration. When Fred Smith was a student at Yale University, he had some paperwork that
he needed to have delivered across the country the next day. Smith was amazed to find out that overnight delivery was impossible. He
sat for a long while wondering why. Why couldn’t there be a reliable overnight mail delivery service? He decided to design one. Smith
did just that and turned his design into a class project. His business professor gave him only a C for his efforts. However, Smith was not
through. He refined the ideas in that class project and eventually turned them into one of the first and most successful overnight mail
services in the world – FedEx.
