What would you think if I told you that there are also a lot of people in the corporate world? Would you believe me?

In fact, companies would not even thrive, let alone grow, if not for the creative thinking of those who run them. If the CEOs of major corporations don't have a creative bone in their bodies then we would not be enjoying all of the perks of modern living.
