The KEY: Unbroken – An Improbable Odyssey
Everyone else on the flight was asleep. It’s a smart way to adjust to the time change from Seattle to Tokyo. But I could not sleep. The improbable survival story of Zamperini kept me awake. I looked outside at the distant ocean from 38,000 feet and imagined Zamperini and his pilot Phil floating on a small punctured raft, surrounded by sharks, drifting for 47 days, covering 2000 miles with no food or water. If ever there was a description of impossibility, this was it. Read here more about what I learned from this incredible story.

The KEY: The 10 Wheels of Innovation
These are remarkable times. Hope and despair, triumph and defeat, light and darkness, all get closer and closer to each other. Success and failure, breakthrough and breakdown, increasingly appear just a nano-milimeter or nano-second away from each other. This KEY traces the Ten Wheels of Innovation. First we soar to the 20,000 feet view as we make the trace. Then we look at the threshold of the next big game-changing innovation.
Discovery and innovation follow and come out of man’s deepest impulses. There are two primary impulses that drive the wheels of innovation:
1. The desire for increased mobility – the freedom impulse.
2. The desire for increased connectivity – the connection impulse.

The Key: Your Biggest Mistake Ever – The Symmetry Trap
For some irrational, crazy reason we get hooked, even mesmerized, by the idea of symmetry and expect life to be equally symmetrical; this ruins almost everything important. There is nothing symmetrical in the real world. Even beautiful flowers are not symmetrical. Expecting relationships to be symmetrical is a current insanity. You assume what you get should be equal to what you give; the person you love would love you back in a symmetrical way.
