I discovered this picture on Twitter, and it was getting viral like crazy. Because what looks like a crow is actually a cat. I scratched my head a lot, and then my daughter joined in. She saw the cat!
This is a good metaphor for ideas hiding in plain sight. While everyone sees the obvious, a little change of perspective, a little turn of the head reveals the other possibility.
If you see the cat, do comment with a big YES in the comments. And till then, keep scratching your head!

Today I came across an interesting fact.The first ever TV commercial aired on 1st July 1941.During the interval between a baseball match between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies.A 10 second commercial. Simple. Just the Bulova watch on the screen. And an announcement--America runs on Bulova watches!A reminder to all of us that historic moments need not be dramatic. Big ideas start small.
