My second assignment for the Stanford course online, A crash course on creativity.

1. Hidden
opportunities…
By Marie-Andrée Roy

2. What have in common:

3. Flamingos…

4. Chocolate…

5. Witch…

6. Books…

7. Mr. and Mrs. Potatoes ?

8. Guess what?

9. They are all “hidden opportunities”, when you
look at it through the eyes of a child.

10. Yes,
during my shop’s tour, I
discovered that if I look around
through my children’s eyes, I
can see things on a different
way…

11. So, the bakery Picardie has suddenly a
“child touch”.

12. I see that my favorite decoration store,
Zone, hides an exotic bird…

13. Nevertheless, my children’s eyes and
feels were not really useful at Arnold
chocolate store… It is still a place that
makes me hungry… No change at all!

14. The nursery Floralie Jouvence had
something magical and was much
more than plants and flowers…

15. My favorite bookstore, “Librairie
Pantoute”, is now, for my child’s heart,
the “house” of comics characters.

16. And Mr. Potato, at
Benjo toys store,
helped me a lot to
see many hidden
opportunities,
always through my
children’s eyes!
