26th April I World Intellectual Property Day Greetings !

"Intellectual property is the oil of the 21 century. Look at the richest men a hundred years ago; they all made their money extracting natural resources or moving them around. All today's richest men have made their money out of intellectual property". Mark Getty I Getty Images

World and Day 2026
“The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.” - Linus Pauling

Today, April 21st, we celebrate World and Day - a United Nations observance that reminds us: creativity isn't a luxury. It's the engine of human progress.

Every solution that ever lifted humanity out of a problem; from to the , from renewable energy to Aritificial Intelligence; began as a single daring idea in someone's mind.

In a world moving faster than ever, the most valuable skill isn't what you know; it's how boldly you can imagine what doesn't yet exist.

Creativity is not reserved for artists. Innovation is not reserved for engineers. It belongs to every person willing to ask: "What if we tried it differently?"

On this day, we challenge you to:
✦ the idea you've been holding back
✦ with someone outside your field
✦ yourself permission to be a beginner again
✦ something — even if it's imperfect

The world doesn't need more perfectionists. It needs more people who dare to begin.
