Scrap Paper or Opportunity?!

Be open to opportunity

Art Fry (alfry@mmm.com) came
up with the idea for Post-it Notes during church-choir practice. It's a
story that has become almost a legend in the annals of innovation: The
...scraps of paper that he used to mark his hymnal would constantly fall
out, and he felt the need for a more cooperative bookmark. At the time,
he was working in new-product development for the retail-tape division
of 3M and had been trying to figure out what to do with a new, low-tack
adhesive that a coworker, Spencer Silver, had invented. The result,
Post-it Notes, celebrates its 30th birthday this month.
