Cynicism has become our chief export

Two things that can’t exist simultaneously.

Negativity and inspiration.

That’s why cynics have such a difficult time innovating. With all that bitterness coursing through their veins, their minds can never be fully freed up to create an endless flow of creative ideas. There’s too much blockage.

Even if a couple good ideas are floating around in there somewhere, they’ll never drift into a position where they can be used.

Like a hockey player falling through a frozen lake and not being able to swim back to the surface because of all those pesky blocks of ice.

Point being, it will be extremely hard to unlock your innovative capacities if you’re encrusted with layers and layers of psychological defenses.

Fortunately, there’s an exciting new product to solve that very problem. It’s ideal for creative people who live in big, cold cities, where the temperament is as brutal as the temperature.

Our app gives you the heart to be happy and the nerve to be hopeful. We help you stay up when the city brings you down. Download now.

Truth be told, this is not a real app. It’s one of the many inventions from my product development and innovation card game. But it could be real. And maybe it should be.

Imagine how many innovative ideas people would come up with if their minds were finally freed through the power of positive mindset.

Sound old fashioned? That’s the point. Optimism used to be national hallmark of our culture, and now it’s a quant relic of the past.

Cynicism has become our chief export, and it’s blocking the flow of originality that used to define us.

How will you shuck off the impenetrable shroud that keeps out the positive?
