Motivation Monday's

It's Monday, meaning I need a little extra motivation to make it through my week. I decided to do a search to see what other "napkin worthy" ideas were out there. It's quite astonishing how quickly a single napkin from 1876, and the innovative mind behind it can turn around your Monday mindset.

It wasn't the just the sketch alone that got me, but what I read after that made me really stop and think: 

"Alexander Graham Bell might easily have been content with the success of his telephone invention. His many laboratory notebooks demonstrate, however, that he was driven by a genuine and rare intellectual curiosity that kept him regularly searching, striving, and wanting always to learn and to create." -inventors.about.com
