Beaten path Quote by Seth Cohen
““If you want to think more creatively make sure you get off the highway and the beaten paths, take the back roads or, better still, get a metaphorical machete and make your own roads on your way to conceptualizing things and solving problems. Where you arrive may be somewhere no one else has ever been. And, from that place, you may see something no one else has ever seen. And that thing might just change the world.””
