We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. __3__ Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is. 3.__4__ Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. __5__ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life.

So Tom built Rising Tide Car Wash, which employs people with autism. The family business provides people of all ability levels with an independent life. __4__ Skills often get people hired. Research has shown that people who find fulfilling work are good at what they do and have mastered a particular craft or talent. __5__ This was the case for Deepa Subramaniam, who worked as a product manager for 10 years.
