Courage
goes hand in hand with Creativity.
Together, they form the foundation of success.
I write this from the perspective of an event manager and ex-manager of a venue.
These thoughts ran through my mind after watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony, which absolutely delighted me.
I admire the French for their courage in implementing the most artistically crazy ideas.
This country invests in creative education; they respect street art on par with traditional art forms and history.
The result of combining the unfettered imagination of many creative minds will benefit France for many years after the Olympics are over.
I saw a spectacle that I dream of realising: spectacular, breaking stereotypes, cheerful, joyful, clearly referring to significant values — one where the hero was the city itself and the people creating the richness of its contemporary culture.
It succeeded because someone dared to allow artists to showcase this culture without prejudice and stereotypes.
We should take an example from the French: promote our country and cities with more courage.
It is worth understanding that investing in the promotion of original, bold, exciting ideas will translate into respect for our nation for decades in every aspect, from politics through culture to business.
