I didn\u2019t see it in theatres, but I popped in our VHS copy on almost every teenage sick day.<br \/>\nIt wasn\u2019t Biff\u2019s sweet hair, or Marty McFly\u2019s trademark vest that kept me coming back. This connection? Deeper, almost cosmic \u2013 and to none other than Doc Brown.<br \/>\nFlashing forward <em>(and backward)<\/em> to two weeks ago, I walked into a comic book store. On one of many alphabetized shelves was a line of bobbleheads: Darth Vadar, Mickey Mouse, Bob Ross, South Park\u2019s Kyle \u2013 and Doc Brown. The moment I saw his zany blue goggles, he was as good as sold.<br \/>\nWhen I think of Doc Brown, I think of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An inventor who pushed the envelope.<\/li>\n<li>A passionate scientist, with courage in his convictions.<\/li>\n<li>An absent-minded, eccentric \u201cmadman.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When I look at plastic Doc Brown sitting on my desk, I\u2019m reminded that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Different isn\u2019t bad, whether a personality, idea, or customer.<\/li>\n<li>Criticism, challenge, and pain aren\u2019t worth fearing, especially when what awaits on the other side are some of the greatest professional victories.<\/li>\n<li>Successes and failures alike are created in vacuums. Test and re-test, openly.<\/li>\n<li>When progress isn\u2019t, well, progressing, try another way.<\/li>\n<li>Making a difference of unknown proportions requires doing the work \u2013 and sometimes, doing it alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at your desk, workbench, or station, especially if you find yourself feeling in a bit of a creative rut. What are you looking at when you come to work and throughout the day? Whether pictures, quotes, or seemingly silly plastic figures, find something that can at the very least make you smile when you\u2019re not \u2013 or remind you to explore a new thought, project, or approach, even if it seems absolutely insane.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3033\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/JP2015-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"JP2015\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/i><br \/>\n<em>Great Scott!
