A Simple Balloon


What a night.  I twisted motorcycles and dogs and unicorns.  I made monkeys and countless flowers and swords.  Do you want to know what the most interesting request of the night was though?   A little boy came over, waited very patiently in line, and then asked very politely and very seriously, “Can you make a white circle?”  You were expecting something more complex right… I know I was.  Your guess is as good as mine as to why he wanted a white circle; I thought to myself, oh no a perfect circle is so hard.  Then I thought about Steve Jobs:
“That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity.  Simple can be harder than complex:  You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.  But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
