Crane: When We Think It Can’t Be Lifted
From Youtube.com: A crane is a kind of machine, normally equipped with a hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves, that could be used both to lift and lower products and to move them flat. It is generally used for raising heavy things and transferring them to various other areas. It uses several easy machines to produce mechanical benefit and thus relocate lots beyond the normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transportation industry for the loading and discharging of products, in the construction market for the movement of products and in the manufacturing market for the putting together of heavy tools.
Ingenuity and Innovation Quotes
- “Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open.” ~Thomas Dewar
- “An inventor is simply a person who doesn’t take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates from college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he’s in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.” ~Charles Kettering
- “Innovation– any new idea–by definition will not be accepted at first. It takes repeated attempts, endless demonstrations, monotonous rehearsals before innovation can be accepted and internalized by an organization. This requires courageous patience.” ~Warren Bennis
- “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.” ~Jonathan Swift
- “I want to put a ding in the universe.” ~Steve Jobs
- “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” ~General George Patton
- “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” ~Theodore Levitt
- “Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.” ~Peter Drucker.
