So, I'm reading this article about a guy who booked passage on a container ship and he mentions that Malcom McLean revolutionized the shipping industry when he came up with the idea of standardized containers. He didn't do it overnight -- McLean, I mean. But the passage on the container ship wasn't an overnight thing, either. It was nearly 20 years from the planting of the seed in his brain to the establishment of his SeaLand Industries.
At the time he got his firm up and running, the Wall Street Journal said this about the state of U.S. shipping, "One of the nation's oldest and sickest industries is embarking on a quiet attempt to cure some of its own ills."
Think inside the box once in a while. There's almost always a better way of doing something, isn't there?
