Creative power

There's something in my house that has been bothering me for a long time. I won't get into the details of what it is, but suffice to say that it's some device that had been installed in total disregard for convenience.

For years, I've been wondering how to improve it, but couldn't come up with a “clean” solution. Suddenly, yesterday, when I revisited the issue and decided to do something about it, a solution suddenly came to light, obvious, much better and totally unrelated to the various schemes I had been contemplating.

In fact it went in the opposite direction as my intuitive thoughts! It was the kind of flash that makes us say “why didn't I think of it?” You get what I mean: The wonder of creativity!
