[ School ]

I recently listened to a podcast about Rubik, and his path to invention of the Rubik’s cube. One of the factors in his story was that he didn’t like school, he was bored by it, and got in trouble a lot.  A lot of inventors have that background.

Meanwhile, I liked school, had no issue staying focussed, did the work, and rarely got into trouble, and I ended up with an engineering degree.

Engineers can be inventors, but  I wonder if a lot of us are just conscientious problem-solvers, who diligently do the work. 

There’s nothing wrong with that approach.
