While it is easy to focus on the mechanics of innovation - whether it is the practice routine of a guitarist or mastery of the principles of TRIZ - Mr. Parkening's writing makes a point that I have been wanting to make, that values are also critical to the process of solving problems. I heard Mr. Parkening play 'Simple Gifts' at a concert. He played it so beautifully that I was moved to tears. My wish for the readers of this blog is that they attain the same degree of excellence in their skills as problem solvers as Mr. Parkening has attained in his mastery of the guitar.
