my viewpoint on innovation

i am no theorist in this topic. nor i think myself as an innovative person. however, i do sometimes generate some crazy ideas.

and i found a pattern of myself: to apply something ordinary in one area to the other areas. this is somehow rewarding.

for example, many years ago, there was only one flavor of chick-egg-son.. you know, that famous snack in hong kong. ok, i have thought about this when i was small.. we have so many flavor of milk drinks: chocolate, melon, banana, strawberry, etc. will it be fun to apply those flavors to chick-egg-son? will it be delicious?

well i didn't know at that moment. but many years later, i saw chick-egg-son in different flavors in the street.

they called that innovation.
