“My favourite Youtube video is ‘How to fold a fitted sheet.’ You may think I’m nuts, but that video has 16 million views. I am probably most of those views, and the other half is the people I recommended to watch it. I never knew how to fold a fitted sheet until I came across that video, and to be honest, I didn’t even think about finding out, but now that I’ve watched it so many times it became obvious to me. Same sheet, same amount of time, same wardrobe; but two completely different outcomes. It revolutionised my wardrobe anyway. Not only mine, but probably for all those millions of people that watched it too. That video is a perfect example how to be successful in life. You take a problem that seems as if you’re the only one bothered by it and you find a solution. There are people who can see things that others may never notice, but they noticed it. Don’t let anyone ever put you down for your ideas; it doesn’t matter how stupid they sound. We’re living in a new world where everything needs to be rediscovered, so keep your eyes open!”
