Liked the BBC TV report on the actions of one family caught up in the flooding, who had just sold their house the week before, and their parents who’s house was hit were away on holiday in the Canary Islands. Nice example of the potential power of people to predict the unpredicatble, or were they just lucky? Try it out in your own life, and when you get really ‘lucky’, tell me does that really feel like dumb luck? To quote a Somerset weather saying: “The moon and the weather may change together, but change of the moon does not change the weather.”

Saw this on the Business Link site and thought it was good to make the distinction:
“It is important to differentiate between invention and innovation. Invention is a new idea. Innovation is the commercial application and successful exploitation of the idea.”
