This quote by Jack Welch emphasizes the boundless potential of human creativity and the importance of recognizing that every individual has something valuable to offer.

In a team meeting when discussing innovative ideas.
You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both.

Some of comics' biggest success stories in recent years have explored subjects that no one was writing about at the time - stories no one had any reason to think would succeed. My advice?
