There is Always a Better Way - Think Best Be Best

Japanese grocery stores had a problem. They are much smaller than shops in the USA and, therefore, don't have room to waste. Watermelons, big and round, wasted a lot of space. Most people would simply tell the grocery stores that watermelons grow round and there is nothing that can be done about it.

That is how the majority of people would respond. But some Japanese farmers took a different approach. If the supermarkets wanted a square watermelon, they asked themselves, 'How can we provide one?' It wasn't long before they invented the square watermelon.

The solution to the problem of round watermelons was solved as the farmers did not assume it was impossible and simply asked how it could be done. They found out that if you put the watermelon in a square box when they are growing, the watermelon will take on the shape of the box and grow into a square fruit.

When faced with a problem, be creative in looking for a solution. The square watermelon question was simply the result of seeking a better and more convenient way to do something.
