My OperaImproving the difference

I strongly believe that improvement is the best form of change…
And there’s a point where Improvement begins to take shape –- it’s asking the right questions.
Examples:
1. What’s the problem with this old solution?
2. What standardized aspect of the thing is actually a disadvantage?
3. What disadvantage can I transform into an asset? And so on…
Remember: When we ask the right questions, we can surely get clear solutions to our problems.
Think of the assets of the “thing” you want to improve.
What are the weaknesses of the assets? (Nothing is perfect.)
Make a big list of all the possible improvements.
The more you'll practically improve – the more you’ll pop-out in the crowd of “just-different” and new stuff.
Improvement is the measure for better – not just different.
And the opposite of something is not the improvement of all the improvable aspects. So don’t just be the opposite.
Make it different in many improved ways.
It'll be great.
