We drive into a tunnel that’s been cut and blasted through millions of pounds of granite and earth. If you can’t get over go through.

Someone had to ask.

“What if we engineered a tunnel through the mountain?”
“What if we dug a tunnel under the English Channel (or the Hudson River, or any of the hundreds of tunnels that go under rivers around the world)?

It must have seemed ludicrous at one point. But someone had to ask. “What if?”

The same is true for heart surgery. A WWII military doctor named Dwight Harken was tired of losing patients with shrapnel lodged in their hearts. The operation was too risky, but shrapnel in the heart meant certain death. He asked a game-changing “what if”. What if there’s a way to dislodge the shrapnel while the heart is still beating?

After testing his theory on animals, Dr. Harken developed a technique for successfully dislodging shrapnel from human hearts and saved lives, while providing the groundwork for modern heart surgery.

“What if” is how to innovate.
“What if” is how to explore.
“What if” can be the beginning of world change.

Listen to your “what if’s”.

You don’t know what problems you may solve, which organizations you may start, or the change you might make.
